Hard to believe but truly there are a few fringe types claiming to be "christian" who denigrate celebrating Christmas at all! Here is an example.

Well hello narses!! I’ve been expecting you. Let’s see if you get any response from your list this time. You gotta get a hit one of these days.

I agree.

Interesting how there are those who always talk about the feasts and traditions that jesus practiced and thus they claim we should.

The only problem is that Jesus had to fulfill the law which meant he observed all the ceremonial traditions jews were supposed to observe.

Then he was crucified and thus fulfilled the whole law so we do not have to.

We are freed from the ceremonial laws because Christ did what no man ever could do, and thus he was the perfect sacrifice that was needed to free us from the laws.

I celebrate the birth of my King on a day we have all agreed to do so. I do not feel bad about it, nor do I lose sleep over celebrating it like those who refuse to celebrate it do.

Strictly speaking, I don’t recall God expressly commanding us to celebrate Easter, either. Do they really want to go there?

In cases such as this the best thing to do is simply consider the source. The very best thing we can do is pray for people like him. God will reward His own.
