and she ate a pile of the. I proceeded to tell her by eating then she was celebrating Xmas. Was I right or wrong. She also has a JW friend who eats candy canes. Is she also celabration Xmas. Was I right or wrong.
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.
