Do you celebrate any days? Such as the forth of July? Are you worshipping the forth of July then? "Sure seems like", is a hard leap. I celebrate the day I was born again, is this wrong? Not to mention, why avoid the definition of the word? It doesn't exactly fit your position, not to mention, semantics? Bad form. The sabbath is for rest, and worship is included, but you're misrepresenting the purpose of the sabbath. What does this have to do with strange fire? You also fail to actually explain how scripture is being misapplied, but instead presuppose your position. You also fail to explain how celebration of the incarnation or birth of Christ is worshipping contrary to that of scripture. I didn't say anything about Romans 14 dictating "how" we worship God, that's an assumption that changes the discussion.
Regardless, nobody here is going to change their position. In the end, though, my position stands. If your conviction is to reject or abstain from Christmas, than so be it. Most of the problems come from people applying what they think Christmas is and how it is executed and assuming that is how everyone does it. Especially in terms of the propogated secular portrait painted by the media.
Have a great weekend everyone.
