The word tells us that we are to live through Christ, yet today's world is filled with things of the pagans, myths, and idols. Even the name of the days of the week! We have no holidays we celebrate that are given to us by the Lord. The Sabbath changed to Sunday isn't in scripture, it is based on that it was discovered that Christ had risen on Sunday, but scripture doesn't tell us when He rose. The word Easter isn't in original scripture, and when Constantine spoke about it being part of the Nicene Council he said that we must not have Passover for the Jews had that and we must not do anything the Jews did. (I am paraphrasing that). Christmas is a holiday that isn't suggested once in scripture, but was a Christian way of celebrating the winter solstice.
God gave us holidays to celebrate--they are a celebration of God's plan for our redemption. Every Friday night there is a celebration over supper with singing, love, and family. The world hasn't added commercialism, eggs as in Easter, football as in Thanksgiving, or any of worldly things to those God given celebrations.
The results of the part of Christmas that is celebrating the birth of Christ has been uplifting to even our agnostic world, I should think that following God would be much better.
