In many of Paul’s writings he never validated Jewish ceremonies over salvation in Christ. Paul pleaded with his Jewish brethren to accept Christ as the Messiah. Besides, I’ve never known of one (non-messianic) Jew who celebrated Christmas. She needs to tread lightly. I’m not judging her motives or intent. I just don’t want her feeling pressured to celebrate Kwanzaa or Ramadan or the ‘winter solstice’ next year.
Wow are you unread in Scripture. Have you read Acts 21 and 22? Paul was in the Temple offering sacrifices, so your contention about Paul’s departure from Judaism is kooky.
Thank you for explaining your opinion. I appreciate it and you answered my question...and I learned something new. :)
