It was a terrible thing that HWA did to ban Christmas for his followers. It was a policy made to make us socially isolated from mainstream society in order to exploit us more effectively. It was a policy made to alienate his followers from mainstream Christian churches. It was plagiarized from the Jehovah's Witnesses.
Currently As Bereans Did has made several fascinating posts discussing Christmas. Among other things it is argued that the Christmas tree actually originated from the Protestant reformation. Clearly HWA was wrong to allege that Christmas trees were mentioned in Jeremiah 10.
There is no need to live in fear of HWA's self serving ban on Christmas. There is nothing wrong for Christians or people less religiously inclined to choose to celebrate Christmas. Let us no longer live in fear.
