In 1647, the English Parliament, led by Puritans, imposed a ban on Christmas celebrations. Lasting almost two decades, the ban aimed to suppress perceived pagan and excessive festivities. Traditional activities, decorations, and feasts were prohibited, leading to a subdued holiday period. The ban was eventually lifted after the Restoration in 1660, allowing Christmas to be celebrated once again in England. This unusual chapter in history reflects religious and cultural tensions during the time.
