I had a conversation with someone once that told me all the days of the week were pagan as well as the holidays. I was told when I pick up a gift from under the Christmas tree that I am bowing to and worshipping the tree. Eventually they freaked on me because of something I believed that they didn't agree with and told me "Get behind me Satan!"

It was really weird!

But I no longer celebrate anything! 🤪🤣

:unsure: do you mean:
"Uranus"?
:LOL:
The Romans named the five planets closest to the Sun after their most important gods. ... Astronomers decided to continue naming the planets after Roman Gods with one exception - Uranus. Uranus was named after the Greek god of the sky. According to myth, he was the father of Saturn and the grandfather of Jupiter. source: Wikipedia

Regarding the OP, I believe we can keep holidays like Thanksgiving as long as we don't use the pagan origins or thoughts. I always thought Thanksgiving was our being thankful to God. I don't participate in Christmas, Easter, Halloween and Valentines Day. I do observe Passover instead of Easter (The modern English term Easter, cognate with modern Dutch ooster and German Ostern, developed from an Old English word that usually appears in the form Ēastrun).
