They are days that are no longer required to observe since the coming of Christ. Thus they are not considered holy days to be observed unlike the Sabbath. The Sabbath is the only holy day that is required to observe. Therefore these special days of which Paul speaks are no more holy than TG is. My point being is that these people took time off from work to celebrate a day which was no longer required by God’s law to observe. If Paul allowed them to observe a day that was no longer holy and was just something people wanted to observe, then that gives us permission to observe special days that have meaning to us. You have the right to not observe the day but do not have the right to forbid others from observing it.Romans 14 is referring to days that God invented (not like man's TD) and how to think of them corporately during a time of covenantal transition.
