"The Top Ten Reasons Why I Don't Celebrate Christmas"
I absolutely love your magazine. Only one has been received so far, but it is just what we needed. We gave up Christmas three years ago, so it was good to see the article in your magazine—at last someone not scared to write about the truth.

Please cancel my subscription immediately. I have never read a more narrow- minded article than "The Top Ten Reasons Why I Don't Celebrate Christmas." Your author is missing the point in not associating our modern Christmas holiday with honoring Jesus' birth.

The subject is your article about Christmas. I am looking for ideas that could help us celebrate some of the Holy Days that Jesus observed. How do you do it, if you do? I will celebrate Jesus' birth, not because we are commanded to or not to, but because it is the most important birth the world has ever known. But I am serious about celebrating some days Jesus observed. Great idea. Thanks for putting the bug in my ear.

The United Church of God (publishers of The Good News) observes all seven of the annual Holy Days and festivals—whose celebrations are clearly revealed in both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. To understand how, when and why, request or download our free booklet God's Holy Day Plan: The Promise of Hope for All Mankind.
Could you please send me information on the Feast of Tabernacles celebration? I celebrated it in Israel this year [2006], but may not be able to go next year [2007]. So if I could attend at a site in this country, that would be great.
—Mrs. D.H.B., South Wales
We have gladly done so.
