More lies: “It’s a basic human expression of celebration/joy much like having a party/singing/eating/smiling”
Please tell me what holiday or special occasion is celebrated by placing a tree or stocking in a house. (we arent talking about flowers, and as For Shavuos well I have a surprise for you though I dont want to change the subject to much)
It is ok to be wrong, I understand you like assering things with minimal knowledge (both halacha and general) it is much easier than thinking or researching. That is ok, Im happy to help educate you.
Lying however is not ok, you told two lies on this thread.
