It is TERRIBLE and sinning against God to celebrate Christmas. But as long as you go to all the meetings, you can do anything else you want. Just don't let anybody find out about it!
Child abuse, child sexual abuse, abuse in general. Covering it all up and pretending it doesn't happen. That is reason enough to leave the cult in the rear view mirror.

LOL.
I want the Christmas fraction where a holiday party turns into a drunken orgy.

And other Christmas fractions:
1--I have Christmas music going. I now have more than 1,000 of them in my player.
2--Christmas lights in my apartment that stay up all summer.
3--Food that goes with Christmas. This includes peppermint sticks (the ones you get at Christmas time seem to be sweeter than the starlight mints that are a bit more dry), eggnog, fudge, and so on.
4--Christmas cards.
5--Christmas presents. Both giving and receiving.
Now, I do not condone drinking and driving. I also do not condone pushing and shoving, pepper spraying, shooting, or trampling your way to special merchandise just so you can get those doorbuster specials. I do not recommend going deep into debt to get cheap crap for people you don't really like and will probably simply throw it in the rubbish. But the other fractions are perfectly fine.
And, if you are a Christian and wish to include Jesus, you probably wish to include that fraction, too. If you are not Christian and wish to enjoy the holiday in its own right, you don't need to include the Jesus fraction.
Of course, the jokehovian witlesses think nothing of harassing people because they enjoy songs (sometimes songs that are actually winter songs), putting up lights (and the LED lights are quite energy efficient, safe, and work quite nicely), and going around to holiday work parties where gifts are exchanged. They don't even like people saying "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays", let alone actually participating in winter- or Christmas themed parties. Yet, they are perfectly fine with hiding pedophiles within their ranks, and even more serious crimes where children are deliberately murdered. And obstruction of justice--you hear one story about witlesses killing and eating a baby, you wonder how many do that or worse and no one even knows because they hide such offenses (along with what even worse items you never hear a peep about until they make the news that the witlesses are doing and hiding). Yet, they go after you for celebrating Christmas.

tge loophole
Jw reasoning fir not celebrating Christmas
1. Pagan origins with something or other about a sun God. Well we know theres no God on the Sun....moving on
2. Its not Jesus berfday
3. Promotes greed and all that
ok my turn
1. Whens the last time you heard someone say "Man i got Ra such a sweet carbed for Saturnalia! Its egyptian cotton, light...oh and look here its flame retardant!!!"---chances are you havent and nor do i do that.
2. Jesus was not born on Dec 25 so i am in fact not celebrating his birthday.
3. Promotes greed. Again this is a conscience matter. Does it instill greed in you? Dont celebrate it or dont buy gifts! Just enjoy family time with your worldly :-) fam and friends, have a pint, and listen to music.
and if all else fails use the term thats becoming verry popular here as well as in my head "Christmas Fractions"
