Christmas celebration became so
merry in Merrie Old England that
they were abolished.
World Book Encyclopedia notes
that, the Puritans prohibited the
boisterous observances in the
1640’s. They threw out ministers
who dared to hold services on
Christmas Day and jailed anyone
who didn’ treat Dec. 25 as a com
mon work day.
But while the Puritans were tak
ing over England under Oliver
Cromwell, thew were losing tht
battle of Christmas. Riots broke
out in 1647 protesting the bann on
the holiday. And an outraged
group of 10,000 men passed a reso-
luiton declaring that if they could
not celebrate Christmas, they’d
just as soon have the king back.
A few years later, the Puritans
prudently beheaded King Charles I.
But the English people invited his
son Charles II to come back in
1660 and Christmas, as well as
the monarchy, was restored to
England.

The British call the day after
Christmas “Boxing Day,” but it
has nothing to do with -heavy
weights. According to World Book
Encyclopedia, this is the day when
families give money to the milk
man, postman and others. In
earlier days, the custom was to
give Christmas boxes of food and
other gifts to tradesmen and serv
ants.
