Thank you 
my question was sincere and that makes sense
So an example The 4th of July is okay because it is just a national holiday of independence
Not saying you celebrate it just that it is kinda either way doesn't matter

But, controversialD, we are to be 'in the world, but not of the world.'
What if God wants you in the world , going to parties, not to hoopla the food and presents but to reach others to Christ. You mentioned the Holy Spirit does that work and doesn't need a holiday to work. True. He doesn't need anything, He can work despite us.
But, what if the HS is working during the holiday in you but you are choosing not to work. Is it an uncomfortable feeling for you is my question? Maybe, it's a social issue for you and not a spiritual one, because all you say just reeks of legalism.
By spending money and giving gifts to friends, especially those who are not Christians, this is an example of Love and doesn't it say in God's holy, inspired words that "of faith, hope, and, love, the greatest is love.'

1Th 5:22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.
I would guide myself with these.

No I get everyone's view point and am fine happy as can be I'm filled with The Spirit it's the only way I can be
I just ask questions to clarify and learn others beliefs!
This all by the way makes sense I see your points
We celebrate Christ's resurrection but don't call it anything but that
We honor the Passover as well acknowledging God's love for those who obey him
Thank you for explaining your view so clearly

Would you do me a huge favor letting Alexis know - either PM or to her thread (link below), that you are fine, please?

Interesting how many of you are quick to pass judgement towards others who observe holidays without asking once how one observes it.
Apparently, because I admit to celebrating Christmas I'm worshipping satan.
I just returned from the post office where I mailed new clothes to a 15 year old girl who lives in poverty and her father died of cancer last week. They have no money so I as well as a few others went shopping for a total stranger I never met.
Just before that I was grocery shopping to make food baskets for needy families in my community.
A few weeks ago I helped put together care packages for the local national guard unit stationed in Afghanistan.
Last month I purchased a teddy bear for little boy who had his stolen. There was a news story about it. I got in touch with the mother and sent this boy I never met a new bear to replace his that was stolen.
I could go on and on but I hate bragging. I'm only telling this stuff to share how I "celebrate" Christmas. I give to others. I help others. I do it all throughout the year as well and I never expect anything in return. So while many of you are pointing fingers and screaming "SATAN WORSHIPPER" I'm thanking The Lord for the ability to be able to help those in need. Especially when I'm struggling myself. I put others before my own needs and I know that God will take care of me and my son. So far he hasn't let me down. And I'm confident he never will.
That's what this time of year means to me. Helping others. How satanic is that? Merry Christmas y'all.
