Plus, the JWs tend to take bits and pieces of the Bible and extrapolate them into major rules. For example, when the prophets say that the Isrealites "festivals and fasts" give God no pleasure, because the people observe them superficially without giving thought to what they mean and without changing their lives, the JW's take this to mean that God doesn't like holidays period.
Similarly, where one of the prophets criticizes fertility cults who use "trees" as idols, the JWs take this as a ban on Christmas trees.
To each his own.
