I have decided not to observe christmas and easter any more as i believe these to be pagan holidays. There is a scripture in the old testament that is against adorning trees with silver and gold but I cant remember the whole verse but to my mind this scripture is against adorning trees of any kind with decorations. Also in the bible in the new testament gospels it talks about the wise men taking gifts to the child but this did not happen when Jesus was a baby as I believe Him to be about 2 years old when the three wise men visited Him with gifts. If you dont beleive me then just read the gospels for yourselves regarding the birth of Jesus.
Also Jesus was born in either September/October time so why celebrate someones birthday a couple of months later this does not make sense surely not. Christmas is pagan as far as I am concerned and most of us have gone to far in going overboard leading into materialism when it comes to Christas and Easter and gorging ourselves on food which is not good.
Easter is also a pagan holiday and honestly were does bunnies and easter eggs come into the equasion and hot cross buns honestly, I mean get real. Easter is not mentioned in the bible apart from the mistake of the word in the kings james version. Passover is from Wednesday until saturday and this is stated in the Word of God and please seriously read this and check it out for yourselves.
There are lots of pagan holidays that are celebrated including valentines day, st patricks day may day and possibly others too. So please be careful on what you take on board in your lives and concentrate on what the Word of God says and we should be observing the holy holidays as stated in the Bible.
