Celebrating Christmas is celebrating the birth of Christ. Did you know that the Jehovah Witness were created by a Jewish man who had converted to Christianity. He wanted to reach out to his fellow Jews and began to use the name Jehovah in the place of Jesus, since this is Jesus' name in the old testament. The Jews were taught to abhor the name of Jesus, but they were familiar with the name Jehovah. Thus an entire religion was born in an attempt to reach other Jews with the message of our Lord and Savior's sacrifice for the forgiveness of our sins!
It's completely OK, not just OK but is mandated.....see how heaven and the angels celebrated the birth of Jesus Christ....this certainly set an example for us to follow.
Luke 2:8-20
In the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
“Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased.”
When the angels had gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds began saying to one another, “Let us go straight to Bethlehem then, and see this thing that has happened which the Lord has made known to us.” So they came in a hurry and found their way to Mary and Joseph, and the baby as He lay in the manger. When they had seen this, they made known the statement which had been told them about this Child. And all who heard it wondered at the things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary treasured all these things, pondering them in her heart. The shepherds went back, glorifying and praising God for all that they had heard and seen, just as had been told them.

Fine by me.
It’s a sin and you will go to the lake of fire now
You're not a Jehovah's Witness. I know a troll when I see one.
You're not a Jehovah's Witness. Jehovah's Witnesses are the fun police of Christianity.
Except you're not.
