Ban on Christmas
Christmas history is full of debateยญs, with some of the first ones starteยญd by Christians. In the 1600s, Puritans in England and the area now known as Neยญw England stood up to King Charles I and his followers. They felt these people were adding pagan rituals to Christianity. Christmas was one aspect they focused on, seeยญing it as a holiday tied to pagan customs and lacking real spiritual value.
So, the Puritans put a stop to Christmas festivities, closed busineยญsses, padlocked churches, and ever-captured pastors who tried to give sermons on Christmas Day.
