It's not "totally cool" to make up "holy days" and keep them. If you read Romans 14 you'll see it was a church that consisted of Jewish converts and Gentles, some of the members felt the need to keep elements of the old Mosaic covenant. The passage is not speaking about making up holy days and keeping them, but keeping days that belonged to a different covenant. Paul does give good advice concerning those who keep the holy days of the Mosaic covenant, "Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind" as to their usefulness. I'm sure we are all persuaded in our own minds that Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, etc. are no longer binding. After some reflection you will come to understand Romans 14 doesn't apply to the keeping of ChristMass.

After some reflection I've come to understand that Romans 14 permits Christians to observe Christmas as a holy day unto the Lord.

James White brought up a good point on a recent podcast - the West has a lack of interest in the Incarnation and Christmas, at least for a time, brings balance to our lack of emphasis on our Incarnate God Jesus Christ.
