This is one area I really resented about my childhood. I couldn't wait to institute the Holidays into our home. We not only didn't celebrate Christmas, but my Dad made it a very unpleasant time of year with all the arguing and debating and constant talking about how bad it was. Yes, this is one area where I have rebelled against my upbringing, and I'm HAPPY about it.

That's how I feel about it in a nutshell.

P.S. I also eat bacon and rare steaks.
We're not Gentiles, but spiritual Jews with circumsized hearts. Also, purposely eating blood would go against the command given to Noah. Lastly, it is too bad that you rebelled, and as for yourself and the others who have posted here about celebrating xmas, perhaps you should post in tamor's thread, which is about celebrating xmas. I don't go to tamor's thread and argue there.

I also put an X because xmas has NOTHING to do with Christ, and I therefore would not want to use HIS name in vain, in holiday/holy day HE does not want us to celebrate.

I am so glad to see others who have seen the light on this. My younger sister and I have been discussing this topic the last few days and she has seen the light also on this issue, but she is nervous about expressing this to the family, please pray for her that she may have strength to stand for the Truth and not fear man.
