In
1659 the Puritan government of the Massachusetts Bay Colony banned
Christmas. This religious minority considered that such celebration
was unnecessary and that it distracted from religious discipline as
the
daily celebrations often led to drunkenness, promiscuity, gambling
and other forms of excess. They also felt
that celebrating Christmas would be idolatry due to this holiday's
pagan origins.
