I am so sorry -- I don't understand. I am missing something, I am sure. Your Colossians reference says that we are to do HIS commands about food, drink, festivals, new moons, and Sabbaths . . . yes, His Sabbaths and His only, but also Sabbaths. What did I miss? 
Thanks!
Thanks!

what you seek to dismiss by calling 'ceremonial laws' the Bible calls part of "THE LAW" -- and they aren't "man's ordinances" as you call them but the very things the LORD God Almighty commanded Israel. do not blaspheme.
need an example?
need an example?
And they tied unto it a lace of blue silk to fasten it on high upon the mitre, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
Thus was all the work of the Tabernacle, even of the Tabernacle of the Congregation finished: and the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD had commanded Moses: so did they.
(Exodus 39:31-32, 1599 GNV)

Now that you know God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you are turning
back to those weak and worthless principles? Do you wish to be enslaved by them
all over again? You are observing special days and months and seasons and years!
I fear for you, that my efforts for you may have been in vain. <- From Galatians 2:9-11
Further in the same chapter of Galatians:
21 Tell me, you who want to be under the law, are you not aware of what the law says? 22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman. 23 His son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, but his son by the free woman was born as the result of a divine promise.
24 These things are being taken figuratively: The women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children who are to be slaves: This is Hagar. 25 Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children. 26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother. 27 For it is written:
“Be glad, barren woman,
you who never bore a child;
shout for joy and cry aloud,
you who were never in labor;
because more are the children of the desolate woman
than of her who has a husband.”
28 Now you, brothers and sisters, like Isaac, are children of promise. 29 At that time the son born according to the flesh persecuted the son born by the power of the Spirit. It is the same now. 30 But what does Scripture say? “Get rid of the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman’s son.” Therefore, brothers and sisters, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.

Well, I just informed my husband that I declare him responsible for all my sins. Yeah. (Breathes deeply in new-found freedom.) Hee-hee. Don't you wish it worked that way?
Waaaalllll, upon second thought, no, I don't.

I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by believing what you heard? Galatians 3:2 The law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith. Galatians 3:24
Galatians 2:20-21
Galatians 2:20-21
"this is My commandment: that ye love one another"
it is because i love you that i will correct you. love does no harm; letting you continue to blaspheme would be harm.
