    Why I Don't Celebrate Christmas

    It really has nothing to do with the pagan roots of the holiday. That is in the past. What I object to and what I believe God objects to is what is happening in the present. The Focus on Santa Claus For one, Christmas is primarily about Santa Claus. It does not matter if you have never done...

The only ones I know aside from Christmas and Easter are January 1 and November 1, but I think that there may be more between those four.

    Receiving criticism, backlash and judgement from family over not celebrating the holidays

    Before I begin, I just want to make it clear that I do not condemn anyone who does celebrate the holidays nor do I think it necessary to stay away from holidays in order to be saved. That is just completely unbiblical. However, I do believe many of the larger holidays (Christmas, Easter, etc.)...

    Please Don't Hate Me!

    Please don’t hate me because I think differently from you on some things, or because I don’t celebrate Jesus Christ in all the same ways in which you do, or because my understanding of what scripture teaches may be a little bit different from yours. For, we both claim to believe in Jesus Christ...

Irenaeus and Tertullian omit it from their lists of feasts…" (vol. 3, pp. 724, 728). Christmas was even briefly...

    Does anyone else feel this way on holidays?

    Rather than feel joyful on Christian holidays, I find myself just wanting them to be over with. I'm saddened by this, and wish I would look forward to them in joyous anticipation. Can anyone else relate to this?
