David,
Thank you for your question. I cannot answer as I am not an American Baptist. I am an Independent Baptist. If you wish to know about who IFB churches are to http://bible-truth.org/BaptistHistory.html .
We celebrate Christmas, however, we know it is not the actual date of His birth.
We do not celebrate Good Friday as Jesus' death
We do not celebrate Halloween.
Our church does not have a policy about tree/lights/gifts. Christmas in this country is mostly a commercial holiday. Some do and some don't
Read the article which explain who IFB are.
Thank for writing and I hope you find a good church that believes, preaches, teaches and lives God's word.
If you have further questions or comments please write.
