It doesn't
Christmas was made up.
It orginally was a pagan holiday.
Roman pagans first introduced the holiday of Saturnalia, a week long period of lawlessness celebrated between December 17-25.

Actually neither Christmas nor Easter are in the Bible. Both are catholic observances and based upon pagan gods. For this reason many devout Christians do not observe them. Only God's Jewish holidays and festivals appear in the Bible. Good question BTW

Jeff A. is right. If you only do those things mentioned in the Bible you should immediately repent of using your computer. Your question should be "Where in the Bible does it forbid us to observe holidays?"

Christmas? Nowhere.
Passover?
It was to be kept throughout all generations by the Jews.

Not exactly sure what your question is, please be more complete.
Now as for Christmas, it is not directly refered to in the Bible, however neither is wearing neckties. Christmas is a pagan celebration that, sadly, some mistake for being Christian.

It doesnt...Holidays are man made events...given dates often not even close to the thing they are memorializing.

Romans 14:4 Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand. 5 One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. 6 The one who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. The one who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God, while the one who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God.

You already know that it doesn't. Christians are good at adopting pagan festivals but what hope have you got of changing it?

The Bible doesn't talk about brushing your teeth, driving a car, watching T.V. or emailing your friends either. What's your point?
