This is the best article I have seen yet on why it is ok for Christians to celebrate Christmas/Easter etc. The only one I don't agree with him on is Halloween, personally I believe we ought to stay away from that one, but he does bring up some very good points about Christmas and Easter. He doesn't use KJB though so you will have to look up the verses in your own Bible.

Interesting articles. I agree that it's a Christian liberty issue. As long as we don't get caught up in the commercialism of Christmas, it can be a fun holiday to celebrate.

Maybe we should concentrate on what God has said his children should do before we do things or celebrate things he never mentioned in his word.
For the love of monkeys I can't understand how blood-washed, born again followers of Jesus Christ can go to great length's to keep a tradition born of pagenism in the name of Christ but will quickly fall short of the mark to do what he specifically said to do.
Suggested reading: Mark 7:5-17 [Our traditions]

I don't think anyone here was saying that we should go all out and spend lots of money on Christmas decorations and put so much emphasis on the holiday itself.

All spiritual meaning aside, I prefer Easter to Christmas myself because it's in the springtime.

Christmas and Easter being the two holidays that bring visitors out to church, I think it's the perfect occasion to redeem the time, for Jesus' sake, and in a God-honouring way.

Follow the link to a recent study (sermon notes) by Pastor Mike Paulson, one of the best I've seen lately on the subject. He is a Bible believer and uses only the KJB.

Well, this is going to be a weird and difficult Christmas. I remember last year Christmas I was still a catholic, still liked Santa Claus, and of course was still an unsaved sinner on his way to Hell. None of these still apply to me (thanks to the Lord Jesus); I'm no longer a catholic, I hate the imposter Santa Claus, and I'm a born again believer of the Lord Jesus on my way to Heaven. It's amazing how much a life can change in just a year! Anyway, I no longer feel like me and Christmas are compatible and I think it may be because I've been mainly exposed to the worldly Christmas and not the "Christian" one. This year I’ll try to focused on the birth of the Saviour and thanking God for sending His Son into the world for us. This may prove to be a difficult Christmas because I’m saved and most of my family isn’t, but then again, I’ll just have to wait and see.

I just want to say I DO celebrate Christmas, so if all of you will just kindly PM me I will give you a mailing address where you can send my gifts.
