Today, my psychotic grandma set fire to our Christmas tree because she refuses to let us celebrate what she calls a twisted pagan holiday. FML

To be perfectly honest, the Christmas tree is actually adopted from Germanic pagan traditions and there is no proof that Jesus was born on December 25th. She has a valid point.

What's a family holiday without unstable family members?

Turns out, psychotic grandma was right. Christmas IS a twisted pagan holiday. The bible explicitly forbids the use and decoration of christmas trees: Jeremiah 10:1-5.

She's absolutely right. Jesus wasn't even born in the winter.

Actually, she is right on most counts, except the setting it on fire. "Christmas" started as yule tide and somehow turned from that to jesus's birth to presents and people getting trampled on black friday. i agree with your grandma.

Well she is right... xD Christmas' date was changed to the end of the year over Yule time for Pagans to get them to convert. Shouldn't stop anyone from celebrating it though. Crazy grandma is crazy, sorry to hear that OP. :c

I....I can't blame her. I actually have to technically agree with her, except on the housefire part.

Christmas was originally a pagan holiday. The Christians didn't want people celebrating paganism, so they deemed it a Christian holiday. Same with Easter. Christians don't have any of their own holidays, they stole them from other religions and fit it to their views. Why else is Easter about rabbits and eggs? It was a fertility celebration. Rabbits are very prolific creatures, and eggs are a simply of life

Well she's technically right except it isn't twisted and more a celebration of new beginnings etc. The church hijacked the holiday quite some time ago but it was not originally a christian thing. Look up Winter Solstice.

I know people will thumbs me down. But I'd call the police and have grandma arrested. Yes it may sound harsh but besides the fact that grandma needs a hard lesson that its your house and you can celebrate what you want, it was extremely dangerous to set a tree on fire indoors. Myself and my family could have been killed if the flames went out of control and that I won't accept.
