Answer
Charles Taze Russell, the founder of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society, the publisher of the Jehovah's Witnesses' Bible publications, believed that most Christian holidays had pagan origins and were not supported by the Bible. As a result, he condemned the celebration of Christmas and birthdays. This stance was taken up by the Jehovah's Witnesses and continues to be upheld by the organization today.
