'''Jehovah's Witnesses and Holidays'''
Jehovah's Witnesses base their refraining from celebrating many popular religious holidays on 2 Corinthians 6:14, 17 which states: "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers, for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness? ... Therefore, 'Come out from among them, and be ye separate,' saith the Lord. 'And touch not the unclean thing, and I will receive you.'" (King James) <ref>The Watchtower, December 15, 1974 (p. 740).</ref>
