Not sure what you mean by "North star." As for Christmas, witnesses do not celebrate it. This is due to it's pagan origins. When I visited Rome, my tour guide told us about the ancient Roman celebration of the birthday of the pagan god Saturn. She said the Romans celebrated this on December 25, hung lights from trees and partied wildly doing whatever they wanted. The next day they gave presents to each other to make up. When Constantine declared the Roman Empire had become "Christian" they changed Staurns birthday to Jesus birthday and kept mast of the customs. They called it Christmas. Hence, JW's do not celebrate Christmas.

What is an assembly attended by Jehovah's Witnesses?
An assembly for Jehovah's Witnesses is like a Convention. All the Jehovah's Witnesses from a province or area, say the top half of the North Island of New Zealand, will book out a Convention Centre or Sports Stadium and they'll all travel for miles to all be together for 2 - 4 days of talks on subjects of interest to them and to pray. Because JWs are only allowed to associate and marry within JW society it is a good way for the youth to meet more people.
