My family knows how I think and feel about holidays. They try to explain them away. Where does the word come from? It creates division, high expectations, low gratification, financial strain and serves no good use to anything but the dollar. Many have been created by the cabal, congress, advertisers, but none we celebrate have been created by God. That to me says everything. I don’t need a holiday or set day to say thank you or I love you, it should be done without being told to or forced to or pressured to.

Yes there are lots of feasts and holy days in the Old Testament but there is no commandment within the New Testament to celebrate any of these. The law was fulfilled, there is no need to hold to those old rearmament feasts. Again I’m not against people celebrating, just pointing out this biblical perspective. Many reformed churches strictly adhere to the regulatory principle of worship and have no Easter or Christmas Sunday services.
Sorry, don't quite understand. It is my understanding that the Old Testament IS part of the Bible. YMMD
