The REAL War on Christmas - The Plum Pudding Riots
🕑 Added 2023-12-22 18:30:01 +0000 UTC🎄 Join us for the untold history of "War on Christmas" in the Plum Pudding Riots! This bizarre history made it to the states when Christmas was outright banned by the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1659. An act that had deep roots in the Puritan-led Parliament's fight against Christmas in England during the 1640s, leading to riots, propaganda, and contributing to the English Civil War. 🌟

I wonder why in early America, Christmas traditions from eggnog to Christmas itself would get you so intoxicated.

At first, I was like, "Massachusetts Bay Colony? Weren't they, like, uber-religious?" Then I remembered, "Oh, right, they were *uber*-religious."

Old school Christmas sounds like a hell of a time. Minus the property damage and knock-down, drag-out brawls, I can't imagine what a town full of drunken people playing football and singing would look like.
