averygoodun42Apparently Christmas lights are pagan.
~blinks~
Um... The whole Christmas ritual as we celebrate it is pretty pagan, really. And seeing as the roots of Christmas go back to early Christians co-opting Saturnalia to get more followers... Yeah. It's pagan. So what? I'm not a JW, so I really, really don't care.
That said, it's finally starting to feel a bit more like Christmas around here. Having the (pagan) tree up with the lights aglow and the days cold helps with that feeling, I think. Too bad it's going to warm up again for Christmas... :-(
