Annual Holidays Around The WorldGalatians
4: Holy Bible
Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. Why turn again to weak & beggarly elements whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? Christmas: Not a nice time nor birth of Christ. Easter: It is finished brings forth death, not life. Valentines Day: it's an orgy of commercialism. Thanksgiving: more like Macy's Day in USA. Veterans Day: to honor warriors is a disgrace |
