Serious question: Do you celebrate Christmas and Easter?

Lately I’ve been studying whether or not manmade holy days please the Lord. Most Christians I’ve discussed it with are shocked I think it’s even an issue. I don’t come down on your side of the instrument question, but I know it’s an issue and I respect your position.

Read the Psalms - David, as inspired by the Holy Spirit, writes repeatedly about using a number of different instruments to worship The Lord. We are to worship The Lord in all that we do, if a mechanic - it can be with your wrenches, a writer, with your pen, a musician, with your neutral instruments of melody. When any instrument becomes a distraction by your ignorance, then you modify to not be a distraction. If you purposely use any instrument to bring glory to yourself instead - then it is wrong. Doesn’t matter if it’s the ‘voice’ you were born with.

I don't celebrate Christmas nor Easter, though I'm inclined to think it's okay with God, given Romans 14 and other Scripture:

One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind. He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it.

(Still studying that question, though.)

As to music, however, God was specific in His instructions regarding which instruments to use. So I'll stick with Him and go no further.
