Holy Days

Are Christian holidays, like Christmas and Easter, are they really Biblical because I can't really find them in the Bible?

There is no command in the Bible to celebrate the birth of Jesus on December 25th or any other date for that matter. Likewise, you’ll not find a single word about celebrating the resurrection of Jesus [Easter], although it does fall during the time of the Jewish Passover. So while the holidays, themselves, are based on historical events, they are not biblical—that is, you won’t find Christian Holy Days in the Bible.

I think the question you’re asking is, Is it wrong to celebrate religious holidays? If that is the case, my answer is, NO! I think it would be wrong to ignore them. There is nothing morally wrong with celebrating Christmas, the Resurrection [Easter], or any other religious holiday, such as: Advent, Pentecost, Good Friday, et al.
