When I recently learned that the Puritans did not celebrate Christmas, I found it interesting. They found no Scriptural justification for celebrating the holiday, and they associated such celebrations with paganism and idolatry.
Although the ACLU likes to bring up this fact to further their agenda to suppress our right to worship freely and spread the Good News, the Puritans did indeed have good reason to have such disciplined lives and establish order to their work week.
I think a Romans 14 attitude is a very good thing.
Christ was born! Shouldn't we live EACH day with this Gift in mind?
This article was particularly edifying:
