I have often wondered if your position is not the best position to take.
The scripture says "Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind"
which I will frankly tell you, I am not fully persuaded that my position
is the best (on celebrating holidays, but I am not persuaded that it is
not either.)  As I said, we do not have a Christmas tree and I feel very
good about that. We've recieved quite a bit of flack over that one! 

I am writing because I have a few questions concerning this issue (for
you and/or others who do not celebrate these holidays). 

1. Is this a stand your church takes or have you taken it on your own?

2. Is your extended family in church?

3. Do you have children? How have they done concerning it?

4. How has your stand affected your walk with God and your relations with
others?

5. Anything else you can tell me would be appreciated.

 I don't think I can think of one person I know of that doesn't celebrate
these holidays. One reason I have come to the conclusions I have is
because I know of some groups (have some literature) of some who do not
practice these holidays and they seemed pretty sour about life in
general, but that has been my only exposure. I am interested in your
experiences!!

Lord bless you,
