Why don't they celebrate Christmas? Because they're either heretical Arians (like the Jehovah's Witnesses) or Protestants looking for yet another gimmick to latch on to prove they're the "true" Christians.

What is with Protestant gimmickry anyway? Some like to needlessly use Hebrew, some force their women to wear long sleeves and beehive hairdos, some won't celebrate holidays, some force all their members to tithe (pre-tax income of course). And they say us Catholics follow the traditions of men too much!

And they hold to an elitist attitude claiming they are more religious than you because they DON'T celebrate Christmas!

I used to resemble that remark, that is until a true Christian broke the shackles of LEGALISM that held me prisoner!

How many Protestants do you know who actually do that? What about the extremists in the worship of Mary and the saints, whose zealotry is laudable, but who drive another wedge between Protestants and Catholics?
