Eden, no one can celebrate Yeshua’s birth until they would have experienced His Death, Burial and Resurrection.
If someone has experienced His Death, Burial and Resurrection they understand Yeshua is God and in reality has no place in history that can be pointed to as His birth (beginning). The scriptures say He is without beginning and without end.
Celebrate
SYNONYMS… observe, keep, celebrate, commemorate, solemnize. These verbs mean to give proper heed to or show proper reverence for something, such as a rule, custom, or holiday. Observe stresses compliance or respectful adherence to that which is prescribed: observe the speed limit; observe the Sabbath. Keep implies actions such as the discharge of a duty or the fulfillment of a promise: keep one's word; keep personal commitments. Celebrate emphasizes observance in the form of rejoicing or festivity: a surprise party to celebrate her birthday. To commemorate is to honor the memory of a past event: a ceremony that commemorated the career of a physician. Solemnize implies dignity and gravity in the celebration of an occasion: solemnized the funeral with a 21-gun salute.
I understand your point Eden, everyday I should celebrate Yeshua, celebrate Him in the good times and the bad because He is Lord of everyday and nothing that happens in the life of His child is by accident or coincidence.
For me anytime a person makes reference to what has been labeled Christmas, I personally try very hard to let them know, I love Jesus / Yeshua with all my heart but I will have nothing to do with anything that the Roman Catholic Wh!ore started and keeps advancing.

An unbelieving friend of mine asked me today, somewhat behumoredly, if I was celebrating the birth of Christ.
I told him, "Yes, I celebrate the birth of Christ, but I also celebrate the birth of Christ practically EVERY DAY."
I don't think he had expected that answer. But it's so true, isn't it, how I can thank HIm every day and celebrate His birth every day? ![[Prayer]](graemlins/prayer.gif)
with love in Him, Eden
