Should a Christian celebrate Christmas?

by Samsie in

hello, i'm new here and have woken up to the real truth concerning the org.

i'm sort of fading away at the moment.... i need help with something, i used to as a child celebrate christmas and have always had amazing memories of it (my husband hasn't as he was born into the org) but i gave it up when i learnt the "truth".

my interest was only in pleasing god and still is.

Thank you for your replies.

I found the 'defense of the DEC 25th' article an interesting read 👍

I no longer consider myself a JW, but I do consider myself a Christian. The thing is, I feel like I desperately want to celebrate Christmas again and want my daughter to experience it, BUT I can't help but feel so conflicted and guilty, because it's pagan right? So how can it be right to? I just want to please God and do the right thing. Can any Christians please give me any advice? I don't want to be like the israelites and do what is wrong in God's eyes. I haven't left the org just to turn to a life where I feel free to sin...I still believe in the bible and God.

Thank you
