And you made an offering by fire to celebrate this day as it was commanded to be kept thousands of years ago?

Nope.

Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.
Heb 13:9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.
Heb 13:10 We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.
Heb 13:11 For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.
Heb 13:12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.
Heb 13:13 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
Heb 13:14 For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.
Heb 13:15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.
Heb 13:16 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
Heb 13:17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
Heb 13:18 Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.
Heb 13:19 But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.
Heb 13:20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
Heb 13:21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

"And you made an offering by fire to celebrate this day as it was commanded to be kept thousands of years ago?"

Nope.

Then obviously you did not celebrate a biblical Rosh Hashanah. The commandments for how that day was to be observed are carefully set down in Leviticus and Numbers.

There are no apostolic new covenant rites for celebrating these old covenant feast days. You cannont find a NT verses that says, "Once the temple is destroyed and the levites are no more, keep the old covenant feast days in this fashion." Of course the reason being that the apostles never envisioned Christians following old covenant rituals. They were only a shadow to point people to Christ in the flesh. Once He appeared the shadows serve no useful purpose.

The apostate rabbis after the time of Jesus had to invent new forms for celebrating these days after God destroyed the temple and ended the sacrifices and levitical priesthood once and for all time. Sad to see Christians falling in the same judaizing trap.

Whatever you did was according to the traditions of men. It was an ersatz celebration of your own devising.
