Odd you should say that. I'm just finishing up a biography of the Great Protector, and it mentions that his Parliament actually sat on Christmas Day in 1658.

Cromwell shunned all celebration of Christmas; I am merely suggesting that, since the date is arbitrary anyway, we steal it back from the secularists by creating a new one, replete with new traditions that don't include trading meaningless gifts purchased from godless thieves.
