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?

Actually, it is really a Pagen holiday that was twisted to make it a Christian and Pagen holiday. So technically, she is right..

Well it is a pegan created holiday like halloween but she didnt have to burn down the tree

Blessed Yule. Being as this is a pagan holiday.

She may be right about the origins of the holiday, but she was certainly not right to endanger your entire family just because she disagrees with your holidays.

tell her Krampus will make her pay for her transgressions

The catholic church actually moved Jesus' birthday from sometime in August to December twenty fifth to recrute Pagens. The reason they chose this date is because the Pagens celebrate the winter solstice which is December twenty first.

Grandma needs a 72 hour hold, followed by a 28 day assessment - or whatever the equivalent is in the States.

Never mind that it is essentially a pagan holiday.

She's not wrong about the Pagan part...
