Re: Do you celebrate Christmas?
One problem I see with folks who become convicted regarding Christ-Mass, Easter, etc, is they do not replace these celebrations with something else. Thus, Real's comment about "...my parents regret distancing themselves from our family by not celebrating the season..."
We don't celebrate Christmas, but we do keep Biblical holy days. As a result, we have been drawn much closer as a family than if we just stuck with Christmas, Easter, and Halloween (much less doing nothing). Now we do not only the Sabbath (which is actually the highlight of our week), but also Passover/Unleavened Bread, Pentecost, Trumpets, Atonement, and Tabernacles.
If a person isn't going to do Christmas, and doesn't want to do God's holy days, they at least need SOMETHING that regularly calls the family together for a shared experience. Otherwise, the family members wind up drifting apart.
My 2 cents (corrected to 10 cents due to inflation).
