Is Christmas something Yahweh's accepts?

 
Jeremiah 10:1-5
10:1
Hear ye the word which Yahweh speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:
10:2
Thus saith Yahweh, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
10:3
For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
10:4
They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
10:5
They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.

This sounds very close to christmas doesn't it? In thessalonians 5:22 it says that we should "Abstain from all apperances of evil." Christmas has serveral pagan roots adopted from paganism. Did you also know that Santa and Satan is the same name just letters switched around? Years ago it was outlawed by the pilgrims. They would fine someone who just showed the "Christmas Spirit". Interesting how things get twisted and that alot of people nowdays just don't care or want to know about it and stop doing the evil.  http://www.yrm.org/b-day-sun.htm This link provides a good article on christmas and its origins.

Developing Character

Character defines who we are. Character is “the aggregate of features and traits that form the individual nature of some person or thing” (Dictionary.com).  In other words, if we create good traits in our individual nature then we have good character. Conversely, if we create bad traits then we have bad character. This is simple to understand, but it doesn’t take away from the seriousness of the matter. Developing our nature into good character should be one of our highest objectives in life. If we fail to do this we will not reach our potential in service to Yahweh. How can we develop right character? We will start by breaking up into parts what good, righteous character is. The character Yahweh seeks is the combination of integrity and courage. Without either of these virtues righteous character is not possible. Source of Integrity The integrity Yahweh seeks is based upon our knowledge of the Scriptures and in doing the right thing. The Bible is in essence a moral guide...
