Why is Christmas different from other federal holidays?
The reason why Christmas is different from other federal holidays is because for Catholics and Christians, it is believed that it is the birthday of our Savior. ---------------- It is observed on the same date of the month every year, whereas Thanskgiving is always on a Thursday but not the same day of November; and some holidays (as President's Day) are now always on a Monday. Ironically, nobody has any evidence that Jesus was born in December. Christians started celebrating Christmas at the time when other people were celebrating Saturnalia--easier to give converts a new focus for the event than get them to stop celebrating.

What is the word to let Jehovahs you have left the religion?
Not quite sure what the question means. Jehovah is God. If you have dedicated your life to Jehovah, you'd have to speak with Him, and tell him that you no longer will lead a dedicated life. But he will hold you to your dedication. He has no provision for 'UN-" dedicating yourself from Him. He is God. But if you wish to leave Jehovah's Witnesses - - you can just up-and-leave. No one will stop you. If on the other hand you commit a serious Bible offense; and if you refuse to change; then Jehovah's Witnesses will 'disfellowship' you from their fellowship. But you can always apply for 'reinstatement' after you have stopped the Bible offence.
