What does think of the man-made holidays?

Deuteronomy 12:30-32

Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them,
after that they be destroyed from before thee;
and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying,
‘How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.’

Thou shalt not do so unto thy Elohim:
for every abomination to , which he hateth, have they done unto their gods;
for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.

What thing soever I command you, observe to do it:
thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

Amos 5:21-27

I hate, I despise your feast days,
and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.

Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them:
neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.

Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs;
for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.

But let judgment run down as waters,
and righteousness as a mighty stream.

Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years,
O house of Israel?

But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images,
the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.

Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus,
saith , whose name is the Elohim of Hosts.

Christmas (December 12-25)

Jeremiah 10:2-4

Thus says ,

Learn not the way of the heathen,
and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven;
for the heathen are dismayed at them.

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.

2 Kings 17:7-18

For so it was, that the children of Israel had sinned against their Elohim,
which had brought them up out of the land of Egypt,
from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt,
and had feared other gods, and walked in the statutes of the heathen,
whom cast out from before the children of Israel,
and of the kings of Israel, which they had made.

And the children of Israel did secretly
those things that were not right against their Elohim,
and they built them high places in all their cities,
from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.

And they set them up images and groves in every high hill,
and under every green tree: and there they burnt incense in all the high places,
as did the heathen whom carried away before them;
and wrought wicked things to provoke to anger:
for they served idols, whereof had said unto them,
“Ye shall not do this thing.”

Yet testified against Israel, and against Judah,
by all the prophets, and by all the seers, saying,
“Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes,
according to all the law which I commanded your fathers,
and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets.

Notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their necks,
like to the neck of their fathers, that did not believe in their Elohim.
And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers,
and his testimonies which he testified against them;
and they followed vanity, and became vain,
and went after the heathen that were round about them,
concerning whom had charged them,
that they should not do like them.

And they left all the commandments of their Elohim,
and made them molten images, even two calves, and made a grove,
and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.
And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire,
and used divination and enchantments,
and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of ,
to provoke him to anger.

Therefore was very angry with Israel,
and removed them out of his sight:
there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.

2 Kings 23:4-7

Then the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest and the priests of the second order and the doorkeepers, to bring out of the temple of all the vessels that were made for Baal, for Asherah, and for all the host of heaven; and he burned them outside Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron, and carried their ashes to Bethel.

He did away with the idolatrous priests whom the kings of Judah had appointed to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah and in the surrounding area of Jerusalem, also those who burned incense to Baal, to the sun and to the moon and to the constellations and to all the host of heaven.

He brought out the Asherah from the house of outside Jerusalem to the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and ground it to dust, and threw its dust on the graves of the common people.

He also broke down the houses of the male cult prostitutes which were in the house of , where the women were weaving hangings for the Asherah.
