Here's a good one with scriptures and information to de-program them about Christmas
CHRISTMAS' ORIGINS DIFFER FROM WATCHTOWER TEACHINGS TO JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES AND THEIR BIBLE STUDENTS: More recent scholarly studies prove that the Christmas Tree is from the Tree of Eternal Life (Genesis 2:9, 3:22) depicted in church plays of the Middle Ages, not Luther or Druid tree-worshippers, although outdated articles for example in World Book Encyclopedia still repeat the legends and Luther may have originated the use of candles attached to Christmas trees. An interesting point often ignored by those against using trees for Christmas is that some of the giant cedars of Lebanon were used to build the holy temple in Jerusalem .
In fact Christ himself was wrongly attacked as a "glutton and drunkard" simply for believing in a good time (Mt ). He once turned water to wine at a wedding party in (John 2:1-11), told followers to invite needy persons to parties (Lu -14), and accepted gifts including expensive nard oil. Interestingly, Revelation 1:14 even describes the resurrected Christ's hair as like "white wool" or "snow," his cloak was scarlet-colored (red with a bluish tinge--Mt 27:28), and white symbolized purity. True, all that just coincidentally reminds one of Santa Claus, but do note that the earliest Christians enjoyed balanced merriment at "love feasts" (Jude 12), the angels celebrated Christ's birth (Lu 2), and Job's children had enjoyed birthdays (Job 1:3, 3:1, 3).
Most Christmas trees are topped by a star remindful of the Christ star. According to John Mosley's The Christmas Star (1985) from September 3 BC to June 2 BC Jupiter, known as "the royal planet" passed Regulus "the king star" in the constellation Leo, reversed then passed again, turned and passed a 3 rd time. By June 17 Jupiter and Regulus were so close they seemed a single star when seen by the eye. This then is one intriguing possible source for the Christ star in the Bible.
Before Christ's birth unspecified men called "magi" in Biblical Greek came from the East first to Jerusalem (Mt 2:1-2) then went on to find the Christ child in Bethlehem. Some translations render the word magi as astrologers because its root like the word "magician" is linked to the idea of being a person of great might but although magi may refer to people who try to predict the future by observing the stars, using omens and consulting spirit beings as forbidden by God at Deuteronomy 18:10-12, it can also refer to people who worked to predict future weather patterns, good times to plant and harvest, buy and sell crops, etc via careful observation of the clouds, stars and other natural phenomena and with very little to absolutely no special focus on the occult at all. So for solid reasons some Bible translations continue to translate magi as simply "wise men" or "stargazers" and this is also supported by the Bible?s positively saying they brought gifts for Christ then also protected him by leaving without telling his location to King Herod who wickedly desired to slay him.
Persons such as Jehovah's Witnesses who kept their families from celebrating Christmas should not be condemned if they acted out of lack of accurate knowledge in the past, being mistaught by their leaders and magazine articles, but also no Jehovah's Witness or other persons, once informed with this, should keep claiming that those who do celebrate the birth of Christ are out of harmony with the Bible or "immature" (as they have sometimes written and said) even as the preceding information proves. Please also go to, read and meditate on what Paul writes at Colossians 2:16.
