Why did the Pilgrims hate Christmas?
Posted by Jill | 1:51 PM

Penne Restad, author, Christmas in America (Oxford University Press, 1995)
The Puritans and other religious groups didn't celebrate Christmas because there is nothing in the Bible that directed them to do so. Besides, their experience with Christmas in England was that it had become a season of excesses -- gambling, elaborate feasts, parties -- and they heartily disapproved.
