Wait, there's a religion where you can't put up a Christmas tree??? I'm Catholic, and we don't ever go all out, but I suppose we could if we wanted to.

Well, yeah, there is. I'm a Christain and my family found this verse in the Bible that sound not to cut down a tree and adorn it in silver and gold. So..... 😕 bye-bye Christmas tree.

Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart. I don't think of all the misery but of the beauty that still remains. No one has ever become poor by giving. Anne Frank quotes! Super inspiring! Whaddya think?
deafgirlhistory deafgirlhistory

Oh my gosh! Anne Frank is super inspiration, even though she is Jewish, everyone should be treated equal, different races, different religons, so great quote!

IKR? Every time I learn something new about the Holocaust, I feel there's one more thing I could have done but didn't..
deafgirlhistory deafgirlhistory

Oh gosh! Same! You are not only one here who felt like that, I`m sometimes feeling like that...
