For an agrarian society to worship the Sun as the source of their life and wealth, that is not unlike "black friday" and the real purpose of Christmas to boost end of year sales to help retailers and manufacturers be profitable.
I liken this to the principle that if eating meat causes my brother to stumble then I won't eat meat.
I think Witness Lee's sect proves that there are quite a few brothers who are stumbled by this holiday and it is undeniable that to partake of this holiday is to "eat things sacrificed to idols".
