Closet Pagan smirks every time Bible-thumping friends talk about putting up Christmas tree

CHICAGO--Kevin Turner always gets giddy around Christmas time, but not because he's filled with holiday spirit. Turner is a closet pagan who can't help but be humored when his "baby bible babbling" family members unknowingly practice his dearly regarded Neopagan (Wiccan) ceremonies.

"It's  wonderful and humorous," said Turner. "I can be neopagan around them without them even knowing. They are happy because it's Christmas, but I'm happy because its the time to worship the sun. So I merrily engage in blanketing the house with lights and burning Yule logs and decking the house with holly. Turner, also loves to use the leftover holly to make wands for his Wiccan friends.

Turner's favorite time is decking the "Christmas' tree with silver and gold. "It's great. They don't even know whey they are decorating an evergreen tree. But I do," said Turner. "Where's that mistletoe?"
