Episode 140: Christmas trees, eggnog and other baubles

from Mid-faith Crisis · host Nick Page & Joe Davis

More on Nick’s book and we discuss why Christians assume that Christmas trees, holly, ivy and general greenery are somehow pagan. Would Christmas olive trees feel they were more spiritual? Are flower arrangers really engaging in an ancient Christian practice? Also, we explore compulsive certainty, whether you can have a Christianity that doesn’t believe in the supernatural, and the crucial question of the day: where does eggnog come from?

I'm Patti and it's been said - many times - that I talk too much. I'm a teacher, author, nature lover and for ten years I owned a coffeehouse cafe where my faith in the goodness of humans was restored every day. This podcast highlights the awesomeness of humanity - er...outside the warmongers, globalists, tyrants and politicians in general. You know, the rest of us weird, quirky and sometimes hilarious humans.We'll talk woo, probe mysteries and leave you thinking about something more interesting or entertaining or uplifting than your grocery list, or boss or that oil change your car needs. I talk too much because I can't help my Gemini moon and Leo Rising nature. I do a podcast because it's cheaper, funnier and more productive than therapy.
