[Answer] Which U.S. city banned Christmas in 1659?

We have looked all around the web to find the most relevant answer to your query: 


Which U.S. city banned Christmas in 1659?


  • Boston:The Grinch had nothing on the 17th-century Puritans, who actually banned the celebration of Christmas in Boston for an entire generation. That's right – from 1659 until 1681, it was illegal to observe Christmas in Boston. The ban on Christmas was a reflection of the religious climate in Boston during the time. The Puritans had a strict interpretation of the Bible, and noted that there was no scriptural basis for commemorating Christmas. By the mid-1700s, the Puritanical views of the holiday had begun to weaken, and the ban was finally revoked in 1681.
