I can see how it could appear that way from a certain perspective. The tree thing is a long-ingrained habit. I don't pray, don't go to church, and think most religions are a crock. When you grew up an active member of the church, that = "not religious".

I do the same. My Grandparents were very Catholic, the great part about the 12 days is that our family never had the fights about whose side we were going to on Xmas day. Just show up at theirs anytime in those 12 days and they were happy.

gotta sort the wheat from the chaff. some is just plain myth, some nonsense, like the Jeshua on the Mtn. with Satan, and others. Star stoppin was too. Magi, the same. Myth to fool the idiots. If yer could believe the earth stopped rotating for a singe star, then yer'd believe anything them silly priests told yer.
