Old fashioned protestants? really? So when do THEY celebrate Christmas?
I don’t know of any ‘protestant’ faith that doesn’t celebrate Christmas on 12/25. I understand the comment coming from Athiest perhaps, but lets not cause a ‘divide’ that is not there between Catholics and Protestants on this one.
No I disagree with you. I know many non-denominational Protestants who refuse to acknowledge Dec 25 as the birthday of Our Lord because “it’s a Catholic man-made tradition not based in scripture”.
So yes there is a divide there. No one is attempting to invent one - it already exists.
In the part of the South I grew up in, many protestant churches had their doors closed on Dec. 25. Many that were part of the old Puritan tradition.
