Should Christians celebrate Christmas, Halloween?

[TonyChanYT]

I do not celebrate Christmas, Halloween, Easter, Lent, Passover, Feast of Tabernacles, Mid-Autumn Festival, Chinese New Year, etc. I don't even celebrate my birthday. I didn't attend my Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD convocations. Basically, I do not celebrate much but I am happy that others do :)

Romans 14:

5 One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind.

Colossians 3:

17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

I think it is okay for Christians to celebrate Halloween, Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement), and Rosh Hashanah (Feast of Trumpets). It is up to each one of us to decide guided by our conscience before God. I would not be a party pooper :)

I've got a receipt from the supermarket.....I don't celebrate that. I suppose I'm a party pooper!

So the answer to your topic question is, "Yes, if they want to"?
What prevented you from attending all the things you mentioned?
You didn't attend your degree convocations? I hope they gave you a diploma. - LOL

I just find them boring

If you wore a costume, you would enjoy it more.
You would make a great Dracula.
How's your Transylvanian accent?

"Let's go out for - a bite. - Blaa, blaa."

I can do a Hong Kong accent with "Good evening, Prof. Van Helsing. Let's have a bite. Shall we?" :)

I wear wooden shoes in my backyard.

And offend every tree that can see your feet. "Look George he's wearing our uncle Maple."

I love to tell people "Jesus is the reason for the season" at Christmas time. It is the best time to witness..

halloween is definitely satanic... celebrating darkness and demons is an open door to the devil to enter in to the lives of those celebrating evil on halloween!

They've added a bunch of stuff to christmas too that pleases the devil so it's not much better

I am sure those little kids knocking at my door for a candy are demon possessed, and are full of evil thoughts... lol.

I don't celebrate Halloween but I can do a pretty good Charles Laughton-esque Quasimodo.

I can dislocate my shoulder blade, effect a British accent, twist my face up, and say:

"I'm deaf, you know."

Everytime I see your name here after this, I'm going to see that face. Thanks for that. Really.

I think it's great to celebrate Christmas! the most beautiful time of the year, why not enjoy it with a celebration? Christmas is about Christ so I don't go to the Santa parade. Also, for Christian children we should read Christian Christmas books to them and even though Santa and his reindeers on a sleigh sounds interesting and fun, Jesus and the truth is nice too.

A goat now replaces Mr.Moto. Yeahhhh, thanks again.

I also like the season. It's the time of year to play Christmas songs in church. I love 'Oh Holy Night' and 'Mary did you Know'. But this version of 'Oh Come Oh Come Emmaneul' is my favorite.

Sounds nice and relaxing!

I like Little Drummer Boy in Acapella.

I love those guys. Their version of 'Mary did you know' is awesome!

It's a pretty harmony however, the lyrics are grating.

Mary did you know...?

YES! She was informed fully by God's angel messenger before Jesus was begotten upon her.

Yes, Mary knew!

My kids don't.

Sure, celebrate it with your kids. Have fun :)
