Upside Down Christmas Tree History

Hanging fir trees upside down goes back to the Middle Ages when Europeans did it to represent the Trinity. But now, Christmas trees are shaped with the tip pointing to heaven, and some think an upside-down Christmas tree is disrespectful or sacrilegious.

The trees were recently introduced to retailers for in-store displays, so more ornaments could be displayed at eye level to the buying public. And they left more floor space to hold extra stock of decorations.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 57635079



hmm....from a symbolic pov, the tree is better upside down.

A tree is in general a funnel shape. When the tree is upside down it represents a large opening (face up) wherein the energy can funnel through down to the earth.

The oppostie way?....very little energy can come into the "symbol" while (what we think is) right side up.


Got damn...."they" fuck everything up for us.

It's like when Trin flipped the flags on GLP, it means that Christmas is in distress.

Given the replacement of disgusting consumerism for the religious aspect of the holiday, I'd say the move is long overdue...

Re: Upside down Christmas tree....Why?
Christmas trees are pagan, from pagan orgins. Nothing has changed today except more people embraced paganism.

Jeremiah 10: 1-5

10 Hear ye the word which the Lord speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:

2 Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.

3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.

4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.

For non-Christians, it is just more of the same... a satanic agenda aimed at hearts and minds, to turn us away from God and embrace ever more depraved and openly, blatantly satanic themes, causing worship of the beast system.

If you’re not with God, you’re against him. Something to think about.

I don't care about anyone's religion, as long as anybody wants to push it on me.

I love Christmas, plus the normal tree.
I don't consider that Satanic.

Goes back to pre-Christian Vikings hanging pine trees from the ceiling in their long houses during winter because it made the stench a little more bearable.

the downward facing triangle is symbolic of the yoni or feminine generative force.

put side by side with an upward facing tree, you get this:

For some parents, it's a way to keep toddlers or pets from getting into the tree and ornaments; plus, the older Christmas lights became very hot; another toddler accident waiting to happen.

LOL! I know a restaurant that does that but they hang it from the ceiling because there’s no room to set up a regular tree.

Re: Upside down Christmas tree....Why?
Great last comment. Christmas is certainly a pagan holiday. During Yule of the Norsemen they would decorate their Christmas trees with the heads of their enemies. Dec 22 is the winter solstice (sun furthest point from earth), the ancients thought the sun was dying, but when they realized it was returning, they celebrated the suns birthday on Dec 25th. Apollo, Mithras, Thor, etc they are all "born" dec 25th. PS all those sun gods are based on the original sun god Nimrod son of Cush son of ham Son of Noah from the bible. Here's a quote from the bible, does it sound like god appreciates christmas (PS the word mas comes from the Latin word dismissal, Christmas is the dismissal of Christ)

Jeremiah 10:2-4 King James Version (KJV)
2 Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven (winter solstice); for the heathen are dismayed at them.

3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.

4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
