God’s Kingdom Rules!, “The King Refines His People Spiritually”

2014 · p.102 · chap. 10, par. 8 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society

“Yet, the Bible Students did not at the time clearly see the need to stop celebrating Christmas. It continued to be celebrated even by members of the Brooklyn Bethel family. After 1926, however, things began to change.”

The chapter quotes Zion’s Watch Tower of December 1881 acknowledging the pagan roots of Christmas, then records that the headquarters staff went on keeping it until 1926, and prints a photograph captioned “The last time Christmas was celebrated at Brooklyn Bethel, 1926”.

The Watchtower, “Part 1—Flashes of Light—Great and Small”

15 de maio de 1995 · p.19 · par. 13 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society

“Shortly thereafter, a flash of light caused the Bible Students to stop celebrating Christmas. Before that time Christmas had always been celebrated by the Bible Students worldwide, and its celebration at Brooklyn headquarters was a very festive occasion.”

The retrospective states plainly that Christmas had been celebrated by the movement worldwide, including at its own headquarters, until the change in the late 1920s.
