Actually I'm not sure why the JW's don't celebrate anything, I'm not an 
expert on their religion. But I think that it has to do with their view on 
separation. They do not participate in state sanctioned events like 
holidays (any of them), they do not join the military, etc. They do not 
say the pledge because it is, in their interp. (again I think, not know) 
forbidden by Jesus when he said not to swear an oath. They are actually 
very legalistic in thier religious convictions.

Jesus said, I have come to set you free.
Again, the scriptures say, If the son sets you free you are free indeed.
Freedom in Christ is a big deal to the apostle Paul.
