Mainly due to my nomadic lifestyle, I’ve never owned a Christmas tree, but I’ve always enjoyed looking at them. Some religious folk argue the tradition has pagan origins.

Galatians 3:13 says, “Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, 'Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree’”).
