The funny part here is that both the Jews and the holidays preceded the Christians by thousands of years. Make me strong by making it my own is the theft concept of the Christians, since the Yule log 1500 years ago. Even Jesus was stolen from a myth from
Mithra’s was a virgin birth in a cave, Mithra was a male God, “immaculately” conceived.
After creation the myth takes a familiar turn, Mithra traveled the world as an arbitrator between good and evil promoting men to honor as the path to ascension to the high place of enlightened spirits. To this end he chose and mentored twelve “prophets” to spread the principles. It was at a point that Mithra died, but he again walked amongst his prophets and followers just a mere three days later when his rising could mark the Spring Equinox.
Initiates of Mithra would be baptized to cleanse their soul, they were required to attend Eucharist in a cave or similar setting which bread and wine symbolizing the body and blood of creation. Their “mysteries” included being anointed followed by meditation to prepare their immortal soul for final judgment, then ascension to the beautified beings to await their resurrection after the universes final conflagration.
If you hail the first! Hail Mithra!

The Holidays are just for us Jews. We have 613 commandments to fulfill. In order to be considered righteous we must follow all the laws of G-d.
On the other hand non-Jews only have the 7 laws of Noach. If they follow those 7 laws they are considered righteous. There i no reason for them to do Jewish law. It will not make them a better person.
It wouldn't make sense for non Jews to celebrate our holidays since it has nothing to do with them. Many of our holidays apply only to what happened to us in the past:
Yom Kippur - when G-d told Moses he forgives the Jews for making the Golden Calf
Passover - when G-d took the Jews out ot Egypt
Shavous - when the Jews received the Torah
Purim - when the Jews were saved from the evil Haman, Hanukah - When the Jews were saved from the Romans
and so on...

The Jews have it right.
If the Messiah had come would there be war?
The Jews have survived everything that the Christians tried to wipe them out.
Only the Jews can read the Bible in its original language.
Only the Jews have a Bible, the Christians have VERSIONS of a Bible.

because the messiah did come and did fulfill the law. when he fulfilled the law he did not do away with it, he FULFILLED it. which means that there was no need for it anymore. i have a question for you. why do jewish people not celebrate the birth of the savior??

I'm not sure...all Christians should celebrate them, I suppose. Until then, I suppose only me and my fellow Jews and the few Christians that do will!

The Old Testament is a Jewish Book for jewish people... logically they worship as they should.

Although Christianity originated in Judaism it has morphed into something that doesn't even resemble Judaism (or early Christianity) in almost any way.
