I sing 'hoping' no one is listening :(
Oh, so this is why you're offensive to God! I guess the Pharisees around here were right about you.

Isaih 10 learn not the way of the heathen, for one cut a tree out of the first and fasten it with nails that it move not , they decorate it with silver and gold. Also if you study the roots of Christmas or easter , it comes from all pagan roots worshipping false gods.
At the time they'd the hellenistic jews that were raised by the ways of the gentiles that held onto their traditions. And so God has fulfilled the laws so that we doesn't need to follow the laws anymore, and so He had serve Peter a plate filled with the foods that the hellenistic jews and gentiles had ate letting Peter know that they aren't under the laws anymore, but now God look at our intentions, but not what we do. And so it is okay to eat pork and celebrate holidays aslong it is in the name of Jesus.

OT diet laws are still in effect, and Peter got a vision of the hot dog in the NT: crossnote, I'm just worn out. (Both sides and the middle are too much to keep track of around here.)

Be not afraid of Christmas trees; for they cannot do evil.

No no no NO!!! We're supposed to be complaining about Halloween right now. Then on November 1st we start on how evil Thanksgiving is, THEN we can get to griping about Christmas.

Procedure, people, procedure! To every complaint there is a season...

Now wait, legend has it Luther introduced the first Christmas tree; but then again like Bush, he gets blamed for a lot.

My question would be, why do Christians celebrate these holidays of men, yet ignore God's feasts?

KJV Leviticus 23:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts. (Lev 23:2 KJV)

Luke 2:8-14
In the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
“This will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased
.”

seems the angels celebrated the first Advent. :)
