Why i don't celebrate Christmas...
I brandy Fantauzzi am one of Jehovah's Witnesses.I know that many people should already know this by now because i tell everyone where i stand as one, but let me tell you why i don't celebrate it.We as Jehovah's witnesses are students of the bible,Christians,so we try our best to follow everything it says in the bible and this is what we live by and we do our best to follow Jesus' example.In the bible,since the day of Christmas is supposedly Jesus birth-date ,and although the bible doesn't state exactly when Jesus was born, an account of the bible states that when Jesus was born, Shepherds were living out of doors as it mentions in Luke 2:8 and taking care of their animals and flocks in the nightime.So, the kind of weather we can tell from this scripture that Jesus was born closely to a time in October and shepherds in that season would bring their sheep inside protected shelters in the nighttime.The coldest weather,with snow happened in December.This is just one example of why we don't celebrate Christmas.We also look behind the facts and history of the man made events of Christmas, whats behind the custom,and although i don't have time to explain them all, you can look at this page to find out more about it and other things we do and do not do.
