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.

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


Exactly, that's how they were originally displayed. Those who think it sacrilegious to display it upside down would do well to realize the entire holiday is an abomination to the God of the Bible.

Jesus was born in fulfillfment of the Biblical feast of tabernacles in FALL when the sheapards were still abiding in the fields. December 25th is the end of the winter solstice and thus represents the "re-birth" of the SUN, nothing but the same old paganism the LORD in His Word calls an abomination. The lights as they're strewn around the tree literally represent the serpent, lucifer, the "light-bearer" of whom the sun is also a symbol in the modern masonic mysteries.

God strictly condemns such practices in his word, (Jeremiah 10:2-6; Ezek. 8:16)

Finally as the name bears witness, it's the merry MASS of christ. Popish trash, those who celebrate it pay homage to he whom the Bible calls the man of sin, nay very antichrist.

It's artificial, so not as much a fire trap as if it were real. Thanks, China. Thanks, Lowe's.

Even celery, asparagus and leeks store better with their "feet" in water, pointing the same direction they grew.

Re: Upside down Christmas tree....Why?
Actually many years ago I worked at a Christmas store and we sold upside down trees. Places like restaurants or high traffic areas would buy them and mount them from the ceiling. The store would actually decorate businesses.
The trees were actually pretty and unusual.

Another I liked was the black trees. Black decorated with pastels and another decorated with peacock colors and blue lights. Different, but pretty.

But that one on the stand looks stupid and probably more likely theses days the anti-christian and anti-America and anti-every-fucking-thing normal bunch are gonna use it to make one if their backwards thinking.

Holy smokes! Never in my life would I ever consider a black Christmas Tree, but the description you suggested sounds lovely!

Re: Upside down Christmas tree....Why?
Awhile back, with the game Portal, people would mount their Christmas tree upside down on the ceiling or sideways on a wall, with the portal light halo around the base. This made it appear like the tree was sticking out of a portal.

That aside, these new ones are probably meant to be some sort of inversion of the Christian attachment to the holiday.

Christmas is a pagan holiday masquerading as a Christian one. Even though Christians perceive it as a satanic inversion (and it probably is), its meaning falls short because a Christmas tree has nothing to do with Jesus whatsoever.

Since it is ingrained in our minds, however, the effect is the same; it is seen as blasphemy, because of the attachment we place on it.

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.

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.

Not really. Here's are some insights from David Guzik's commentary on this passage in Jeremiah:

" Nevertheless, there are many reasons to believe that despite some similarities, the differences are even greater and do not prohibit the modern custom of the Christmas tree.

· Jeremiah spoke regarding the customs of the Gentiles, and in the modern world the appropriate celebration of Christmas is an expression of believe in God and His Son, not a custom of unbelievers.

· Jeremiah spoke of believers borrowing customs of unbelievers; in the modern world, when an unbeliever has a Christmas tree, it is a case of unbelievers borrowing the customs of believers.

· Jeremiah spoke of a tree regarded as an idol, and (properly understood) the modern Christmas tree is not an idol. If for a family it is or becomes an idol, it should be discarded with.

· Jeremiah spoke to a time in history when trees were often directly connected with idolatry, either literal trees or their representations (Jeremiah 2:27).

Because it is a holiday taken from the ancient druids. Druids would have never chopped down the tree though. That meant death because their gods lived in them. Hence why they would decorate them and leave presents under them.
