I celebrate the birth (deathand resurrection) of Christ everyday. As for Christmas, proper...absolutely. But I still prefer Easter.

Yes, I am celebrating Christmas this year because I can and I like to. Not because I am supposed to or not supposed to. Apparently this guy name Jesus died in order to free me. And I like to enjoy that freedom when I can.

I will not be celebrating Christmas this year for religious reasons. This article explains quite well why I don't celebrate Christmas.
Stuffy legalistic nonsense. And here I thought I was such a Scrooge. Don't be a downer, Christine, celebrate! Brother. I'm an apostate and I'm going to at least TRY to have a good Christmas season.

OF, you're entitled to your opinion, but don't expect me to believe you based on that one statement. It was the Israelites that were required to keep religious holy days and feasts. As Body members, we are not required to, indeed, we should not partake of religious holidays. To partake of such would be putting ourselves, as believers, under the bondage of leagalism again, which we are freed from.

Christine,
I don't see non/celebration today as a "requirment". I am not mandated to observe (or not) special days, but Paul says, "One man considers one day more sacred than another; another man considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. He who regards one day as special, does so to the Lord. He who eats meat, eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains, does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God. "
I'm curious, I read over the list of prohibited days and didn't see birthdays listed. Do you celebrate birthdays and anniversaries?
