Did you know that it wasn't until the mid 1800s that protestants started celebrating Christmas? Until then it was strictly a Catholic holiday invented by the Catholic church to "convert" Romans in the 4th century who refused to give up their pagan festival Saturnalia. Apparently the Protestants were losing parishioners to the Catholic church for all the festivities and rather than stand on principle, they compromised to keep the pews full.
Food for thought. The only commanded observance, is the Lord's table in remembrance of his death for the sins of those the Father gave him. For it was His death, not birth, that provided the single holy sacrifice to satisfy a just God.
