IMHO she was just eating cookies and the other JW is just eating candy. The celebration of the Holiday is when you celebrate the fesitivities along with the eating and merry making and exchanging of gifts.
Many times when I was a JW I ate birthday cake (leftovers) but I did not celebrate the person's birthday. Who cares if a cake or cookie or a blob of sugary stuff is decorated or shaped into a "cane"?
I know, I know there are hardliner JW's who wouldn't be caught dead doing such a detestable thing, I just wasn't one of them! I don't think there is a right or wrong here the people mentioned obviously were not celebrating the holiday.

oh come on! jw's can't have their cake and eat it too!
I find it very amusing when my jw eats Chistmas cookies, even steals out of kids stockings for goodies!!! Apparently jw's make up the rules as they go, just like everybody else. If Christmas was truly so terrible, evil, and disgusting they would not touch any Christmas related items on Christmas or any other day. That would include not buying Christmas candy on sale the day after. It's like Thanksgiving when they have turkey and all the fixings but are not celebrating Thanksgiving like the rest of us heathens who are eating turkey and all the fixings and enjoying family and friends. Do as I say not as I do.
