Friend of the wife's teen (only child) announced that she has become a Wiccan and expects her mom to respect her choice. Mom agrees that she will.

Teen comes home, the Christmas tree has been taken down and the presents have been returned.

Mom says, "Wiccans don't celebrate Christmas.":p

Wish there was video.

Christmas was in part created from wiccan traditions, so I fail to see the issue. Sounds like the mom in this case is an idiot.

LOL, that is funny. :D
However wrong on so many levels and will have consequences for the parents also.
  • Presents have now become a bribe given to children to believe in Christ.
  • The tree borrowed by Christians in their festive idolatry is Pagan in origin.
  • The parents will be surprised when the girl paints herself red in her desire to participate in the Beltaine fireside orgy on the last night of April when it comes time to celebrate the planting of the crops.
  • The parents will be doubly surprised when the girl paints herself red again in her desire to participate in the Samhain fireside orgy on the last night of October to celebrate the end of the harvest.

Purposefully trolling or are you really that stupid?

Yule became the modern day Christmas when the Christian calendar system became adopted by the Germanic people of the time. In other words there would be no such thing as Christmas if it wasn't for Yule.

Who gives a shit what it was adopted from? Every tradition and thing we do at some point originates back to some common ancestor. It doesn't change or even equivocate contemporary holidays and customs.

What Christmas is today isn't even what it was 50 years ago let alone similar to the Wiccan traditions. Or are you too stupid to see the differences in a Corvette vs. a Model T. HURR HURR it's the same!!

So you really are that stupid then. Now you're saying that a christmas tree today isn't the same as a christmas tree from 50 years ago.

Christmas trees are the same as cars, amirite? Makes perfect sense... oh wait no it doesn't you're just retarded.

Is the hanukkah bush Wiccan?
Click to expand...

According to Nintendesert, hanukkah today isn't what it was 50 years ago, because the cars during that time were a lot different than they are today. Or something like that.

Hurr durr Nintendesert analogies make my head spin.

The teen is stupid for claiming to be a Wiccan, but she is a teen who wants attention and wants to feel different.

In my opinion, the mom is worse for passive-aggressively stomping on her daughter like that. Very immature. Everyone knows that Christmas transcends the Christian faith, plus its based of the winter solstice anyway, which I am sure holds some kind of roots in Wiccan theology.

What kind of mom looks for a chance to be a bitch to her daughter?
