Christmas has been banned at various times in history in different countries for various reasons. In 1647, the celebration of Christmas was banned in England by the Puritan-controlled Parliament due to its perceived excesses and pagan associations. The ban was later lifted in 1660 when the monarchy was restored.

In 17th century America, the celebration of Christmas was discouraged by some Protestant groups and was banned in the Puritan-controlled colony of Massachusetts in 1659. The ban was not strictly enforced, and some colonists continued to celebrate the holiday in secret. The ban on Christmas was eventually lifted in 1681.

In Soviet Russia and Communist China, the celebration of Christmas was suppressed due to the government's promotion of atheism and opposition to religious holidays. However, these bans were not specific to Christmas and applied to all religious holidays.

Overall, while Christmas has been banned at various times in history, it has also been embraced and celebrated by many people around the world.
