Kids today are pulling nonsense and copping attitudes with their parents (and other adults) that I would never have dared to when I was a kid. I cringe to think of the possible consequences had I mouthed off to my dad rhe way OP's daughter is doing to him. My dad busted his ass in night school while working

Why? Because it is a day that God has not commanded us to keep. It is like the strange fire offered to God in the Temple. We cannot decide our OWN way to worship God or celebrate Him. He said that OUR WAYS are sin. The festivals that God provided were shadows of things to come and were to be kept so that we would have knowledge of those events. Observing Christmas is vain.
