What happened when Christmas celebrations were banned in 1647?
Oliver Cromwell was a Puritan - a very religious branch of Chirstians who beliveed everyone's souls should be pure. That's why he banned Christmas. He thought that all people did at Christmas was get drunk and party all the time, so he banned the celebration all together. Carol singing was banned, Christmas trees were banned, gifts were banned, decoratons were banned...practically EVERYTHING to do with Christams was banned! Oliver Cromwell even sent out soldiers to hut down any people celbrating Christams, and punish them with a large fine or a prison sentence. Even cooking a turkery would casue trouble and could get you told off by the law!
