However, the celebration of Christmas does not CONFLICT withe the sense of Scripture.
That's the problem. The teaching of the church should of course be embraced if it it attuned to the spirit of scripture. If church teaching or practice conflicts with Scripture it should be rejected.
Or one's personal interpretation of Scripture should be examined to see if it is itself correct. It was Church teaching and practice which was used to determine what Scripture went into the canon and what didn't. To the extent that you see an innovative teaching or practice, remember what The Church taught and believed in the late 4th century and then see if the new teaching or praxis passes muster with that standard, not what you think or the local Rev. said last Sunday. By this I do not mean that it must be exactly the same, though that is safest, but rather see if the new idea or practice is just a different package on a traditional belief.
