When the English parliament outlawed the celebration of Christmas in 1642, the Christmas-loving Englishmen responded fiercely. Many cities witnessed the full force of the Englishman's craving for Christmas, which included riots and violence. The ban on Christmas also sparked a passionate literary debate.
The Christmas Controversy relates the history of the fight for the right to celebrate Christmas.
