Not celebrating Christmas thankfully.
I know some people get a little upset when I say "I'm not celebrating Christmas because it's a pagan holiday" it was falsely changed to the Messiah's birth even though even historians admit that that was wrong.
My reasons are simple, nowhere in the Bible does it say we shall celebrate messiah's birth. I know some people point to the three wise men, however the thing about that is when Jesus was born they did not come until months later and they only honored him, they didn't celebrate his birthday.
Now of course, some people would say well neither is Thanksgiving in the Bible. That is true, it is not. However it is proper that we give thanks to God for coming to this fine land. The tragedy of course was the US government to eradicating the Indians. Rather bad show there
Now of course if you guys want to wait around till next year then there's Purim. And that is in the Bible. Sunset, 23 March – nightfall, 24 March
That one is where the saying comes "Hoisted by his own petard" as it was a time of great fear by the Jews who were about to be slaughtered due to one man's anger at a Jew who would not bow to him.
The man had had gallows made to execute the Jews but ended up being executed on those very same gallows.
The Purim celebration is based on a story described in the biblical Book of Esther. Purim marks the deliverance of the Jews from a royal death decree in the 5th c. BCE. It is a festive holiday celebrated on the fourteenth day of the Hebrew month of Adar.
Anyway that's my take on it but you may enjoy yourself as you wish happy holidays.
