Deuteronomy 7:5King James Version (KJV)
5 But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.
Two ways to approach celebrating man-made “holy” days:
unbiblical way-you can celebrate anything so long as God does not forbid it in His Word (yet, He does forbid paganism mixed in with the holy worship of Him!)
biblical way-you can only celebrate that which is found in God’s Word and only in the way that is according to His Word

Does it matter what one believes, so long as he is sincere?
God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth. – 2 Thessalonians 2:13
“…and belief of the truth.”
Doctrine affects the life. Truth leads to life and to God; error to death and destruction. No one would think of saying it matters not what god one worships, so long as he is sincere, any more than he would think of saying it matters not what one eats and drinks, so long as he relishes what he eats and drinks; or what road he travels, so long as he thinks he is on the right road. Sincerity is a virtue; but it is not the test of sound doctrine. God wills that we shall know the truth, and He has made provision whereby we may know what is truth.
The influence of all idolatrous worship is degrading.

It is idolatry, not only to worship a false god, but the true God in a false manner. – Thomas Watson
