Witnesses do not celebrate Christmas or Easter because they believe these festivals are based on (or are heavily contaminated by) pagan customs and religions.
He told the publication: “I grew up in a strict household of Jehovah’s Witnesses. We didn’t celebrate birthdays or Christmas or anything like that.’
Peter said that while he’s no longer part of the faith, he still respects everything he learned growing up.

Continuing to say, “But one of the things is that a lot of people say, ‘Do you feel missed out,’ and I’m like, ‘Well, you don’t know any other way.’
“But now the kids are going through it, I can live it through them and it’s beautiful.”
Admittedly, it could be “even more special” now that he’s experiencing it with his offspring for the first time.
