My family gave up celebrating holidays after my young husband got killed in Nam. After reading a Hallmark book about all the pagan origins of holidays I was glad we gave them up. My 5 year old daughter-born 10 days after her father’s death- was getting pitied in a store about not being able to see Santa and getting presents, told the woman that when we buy her presents, it’s because we love her and not because of a (her words) ‘stupid’ holiday. Do you think Christ wants us to worship him with practices that are pagan to begin with? Give them up and feel free. Or shut up and stop complaining. No one wants to hear it.
