I will not celebrate a feast of light, where the light is used to call upon the son, to encourage it, to not go under forever.
I will not decorate a tree, to celebrate that the land will be plentifull
I will not hang a wreath on my door which symbolises the sun
I will not lay gifts under the christmas tree for I do not believe pagan gods(starting with nimrod) give gifts.
I will not give a kiss under the mistletoe for it has origins in sexual orgies
etc....
Enjoy the season? I walk around, and am absolutely disgusted by the idolatery done by so many christians.
saying you can celebrate this feast, is saying the same as saying, you can have sex before marriage, because everybody does it.
You can divorce, because everybody does it...
Just go with the flow...
No thanks, I uphold the word of the Lord, and celebrate His feasts, but I will not run after pagan Gods, of sexuality, of self centeredness, of godlessness, just to go with the flow.
As Christians we're supposed to be set apart from the world, we are a special people, different from the world.

Jer 10:2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
Jer 10:3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
Jer 10:4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
Jer 10:5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
Love Always,
