Topsy-Turvy Christmas treesI know X’mas is not up yet but we are finally approaching the Season, church presents wishes all coming ahead and sadly I am a year older and dread to do more coming projects as I draw near to Year 3. Okay this is not the point of this entry, I am here to say that I SAW AN INVERTED Christmas Tree. And then I was damn free, so I went to find out more and share this with you all.
Christmas trees are no longer just a symbol of Christianity but a “product” in the era of consumerism.
So, now we can put up trees whenever they are available in the market and can hang them in an upside down position. This is so incorrect la, why it is use for other purposes now? And we human always create and make the traditional gone, not conforming to accepted standards.
Look mooncake for instance, new flavours, look more houses for growing population and depleting World resources, look more convenience (transportation) and now more pollution, look wider range of products from top to toe just to pamper ourselves and waste more coffin money. Haha, not relevant that.
Back track, these kind of trees are popularly known as “inverted trees”. They were in high demand during the last Christmas shopping season. The trend started in 2003.
Reasons:
Customers are very happy with the new product as they can see the ornaments better because they don't get hidden behind the branches.
The shopkeepers are happy as the inverted trees take a little space and so they can be well accommodated in departmental stores. Moreover they are free from fire hazards. OH OKAY.
But there were sayings that the tip of the Christmas tree should point towards the Heaven but in this case it is pointing towards Hell as it is inverted. Hence, the upside down position is sacrilegious.
But I still prefer the non-inverted one, in a way or another, it is like a more normal tree. Like I will not get to see an inverted tree planted along any road sides and hell where is the roots man?
People have no problem with the stars pointing down to Hell, try it then!
