11/01 Is This Normal?
Quote From: elffieDr. Phil, you know you have many Pagans that watch your show and will be watching to see if the info (regarding these holidays) is correct. I hope you make it clear that Yule (Winter Solstice) was being celebrated thousands of years before Christmas, and much of the Christmas traditions do stem from Pagan beliefs. Christians attempted to convert Pagans by bringing their beliefs into the Christan holidays.
Also, please remind the guests, and everyone, that Pagans are not bad, or evil people. So, really, why would it be bad to celebrate something that is so peaceful?
And if the guest really doesn't want to celebrate it because of it's Pagan origins, then fine. That is up to her. I have found that almost all of the time Dr Phil has his facts straight. Even if things tend to disagree with Christianity.
And if he gets it wrong you can always write in and get to be on one of those shows where you get to challenge him! LOLOL
