[h=3]Revelation 18[/h]King James Version (KJV)
18 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
All these man made traditions are money based invented by man to get rich
Note the wine is false doctrine hmm Christmas easter New years valentines day halloween etc Money Money Money
This is so logical, makes perfect logic. Yet, if we compare it to how God saw the way people worshipped Him using the golden calf, it didn't make God logic, and we are using something similar to worship God. We are worshipping God using a Christianized pagan rite. They added God worship to a pagan idea. There is a possibility that God sees that as wrong.
God biblical New year start hmmmm not on the 1st on January
[h=3]Exodus 12[/h]King James Version (KJV)

I never said all Christians. Don't get offended when I simply stated the fact.
The whole world (I trust you understand what I mean when I say "the whole world" and not taking it laterally) goes wild during the Christmas season doing those things. There's no peace on earth at the mall on boxing day. Drinking and driving charges multiplied on Christmas holidays. Orgies - need I say more?
Unfortunately (or is it fortunately) you don't represent the whole world.
I'm not here to speak again Eucharist, just so there's no misunderstanding.

You think we don't know that? Just because something has a Pagan influence does NOT mean we are worshiping those deities...Get a grip! I love thunderstorms! But that doesn't mean I worship Thor! I love the rain but that doesn't mean I worship Hyades! Just because something is ASSOCIATED with pagan tradition, it doesn't make the object itself evil. Pagans sexified themselves up in order to worship their gods/goddesses. But that doesn't make sex inherently evil. Your logic is out the window. Yet again.
When you follow God's word, God talks about using things with a pagan influence in our worship. That is different than worshipping something with a pagan influence. Again, we can use the golden calf as an example. The Jews didn't worship the golden calf. They used this as a stand in for God, it was something they could see with their eyes as they worshipped the true God. We are just using the pagan holiday as a means of worshipping the true God. We are asking God if that is OK to do.
Think upon this verse
Daniel 7:25
King James Version (KJV)
25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out thesaints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
The Anti christ has change times the calenders etc easter, christmas hmmm to him that knoweth to do good and doeth it not hmmmmm
Did you read Exodus 32?
32 When the people saw that Moses was so long in coming down from the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said, “Come, make us gods[a]who will go before us. As for this fellow Moses who brought us up out of Egypt, we don’t know what has happened to him.”
2 Aaron answered them, “Take off the gold earrings that your wives, your sons and your daughters are wearing, and bring them to me.” 3 So all the people took off their earrings and brought them to Aaron. 4 He took what they handed him and made it into an idol cast in the shape of a calf,fashioning it with a tool. Then they said, “These are your gods,[b] Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.”
5 When Aaron saw this, he built an altar in front of the calf and announced, “Tomorrow there will be a festival to the Lord.” 6 So the next day the people rose early and sacrificed burnt offerings and presented fellowship offerings.Afterward they sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.
7 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go down, because your people, whom you brought up out of Egypt, have become corrupt. 8 They have been quick to turn away from what I commanded them and have made themselves an idol cast in the shape of a calf. They have bowed down to it and sacrificed to it and have said, ‘These are your gods, Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.’
THEY WERE WORSHIPPING AN IDOL.

Note they said "these are your gods, Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt. It says the same thing in Nehemiah.
Neh_9:18 Even when they cast themselves a metal calf, saying of it, "This is your god that brought you up from Egypt," and committing other gross provocations;
When King Jehu destroyed the baal temples, he let the golden calf temples remain because the calves represented God.
