I'm sorry but your logic does not make sense. Before Paul was converted he was Saul, a Pharisee. He kept the law, the Sabbath and the feast days according to the Old testament.
They did not celebrate Christmas or Easter. Truthfully I don't care to defend either holiday. Nor do I wish to argue if you or others want to keep any of the feast or those two holidays.
It doesn't really matter to me and I don't think it matters to God.
If we go into the fulfillment of the feasts, then we go into that doubtful things categories. which i'm not sure you really want to talk about. To often its just a jumping stone to preach about how you want to keep them. Which is fine but I don't think you should judge those who chose not to keep them.
In addition, I believe they all have been fulfilled through Christ's life, death and resurrection. However, I don't want to spend a lot of time jumping through hoops to show you, just to be disregarded.
I know we both can agree that Jesus was the Passover lamb, who died for our sins.
I found this from a website:
however I do believe the Fall feast have already been fulfilled in this manner:
5) Trumpets (Leviticus 23:24) –Jesus birth,
Luke 2 "
[SUP]13 [/SUP]And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:
[SUP]14 [/SUP]“Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”[SUP][c]"[/SUP]
6) Day of Atonement (Leviticus 23:27): death of the infants in Bethlehem , Tears of repentance of those John the Baptist baptized with water
7) Tabernacles or Booths (Leviticus 23:34): Jesus being physically on earth and His preaching.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 [Full Chapter]
Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.

not quite in line with the OP but you asked.

I found this from a website:
1) Passover (Leviticus 23:5) – Pointed to the Messiah as our Passover lamb (1 Corinthians 5:7) whose blood would be shed for our sins. Jesus was crucified on the day of preparation for the Passover at the same hour that the lambs were being slaughtered for the Passover meal that evening (John 19:14).
2) Unleavened Bread (Leviticus 23:6) – Pointed to the Messiah's sinless life (as leaven is a picture of sin in the Bible), making Him the perfect sacrifice for our sins. Jesus' body was in the grave during the first days of this feast, like a kernel of wheat planted and waiting to burst forth as the bread of life.
3) First Fruits (Leviticus 23:10) – Pointed to the Messiah's resurrection as the first fruits of the righteous. Jesus was resurrected on this very day, which is one of the reasons that Paul refers to him in 1 Corinthians 15:20 as the "first fruits from the dead."
4) Weeks or Pentecost (Leviticus 23:16) – Occurred fifty days after the beginning of the Feast of Unleavened Bread and pointed to the great harvest of souls and the gift of the Holy Spirit for both Jew and Gentile, who would be brought into the kingdom of God during the Church Age (see Acts 2). The Church was actually established on this day when God poured out His Holy Spirit and 3,000 Jews responded to Peter's great sermon and his first proclamation of the gospel.
