Ban on Christmas
Christmas history is full of debates, with some of the first ones started by Christians. In the 1600s, Puritans in England and the area now known as New 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, seeing it as a holiday tied to pagan customs and lacking real spiritual value.
