should we celebrate holidays?

The Encyclopedia Americana informs us: "The reason for establishing December 25 as Christmas is somewhat obscure, but it is usually held that the day was chosen to correspond to pagan festivals that took place around the time of the winter solstice, when the days begin to lengthen, to celebrate the ‘rebirth of the sun.’ . . . The Roman Saturnalia (a festival dedicated to Saturn, the god of agriculture, and to the renewed power of the sun), also took place at this time, and some Christmas customs are thought to be rooted in this ancient pagan celebration."—(1977), Vol. 6, p. 666.

The one celebrating the spring Goddess Ester? Where we have the equinox, and the days are longer and the Son rises earlier? The one where less than 40 hours is considered 3 days? The one where the fabric tore, before or, no, it was after depending on which gospel you prefer and what agenda is put forth...that holiday is the one that is acceptable?

I celebrate it too. The kids like searcing for their baskets and the eggs and the deviled eggs are fabulous.
