Why was Christmas Banned in America until 1820?

Christmas is right around the corner. Millions of people are out right now buying last minute gifts for those they love, those they want to impress and those they barely speak to. If I was a betting woman, I would bet that 90% of them don’t know how Christmas started. They don’t know what the real meaning is behind the Christmas story.

Below is the video “The Unwrapping of Christmas: Its History, Myths, and Traditions.” It shows an interesting beginning. She talks about why we decorate our houses with lights, the Yuletide greetings, the 12 days of Christmas, Santa Claus, why we decorate the Christmas tree, and more. The original video is 50 minutes long, but the version below is only 35 minutes.

Let me know what you think.
