In 1659, the Puritans passed a law called the “Penalty for Keeping Christmas,” which prohibited anyone from celebrating the holiday in any way. Anyone found to be celebrating was fined 5 shillings. The law was spearheaded by Reverend Increase Mather (father of Cotton Mather of the Salem Witch Trials). He believed celebrations of Christmas were consumed in “excess of Wine, in mad Mirth,” and would displease Jesus Christ. But furthermore, the law was passed to uphold the ever-important Puritan social hierarchy, and to discourage practices like “wassailing.” In 1681, the law was repealed under pressure from England—after 22 years! However, Christmas remained changed. For about 200 years, many people still went to work or school on Christmas Day, until President Ulysses S. Grant made it a federal holiday in 1870. #christmashistory #massachusettshistory #puritannewengland #puritans #christmasban #history #historytok #holidayhistory #historyofchristmas
