“English Puritans who banned Christmas in the Middle Ages” and beyond! They banned it there (England) when they held power, they fled to the Continent as refugees when they were forced out of power (where have we heard this before, that those of a totalitarian mindset claimed “refugee” status and fled to the Free World?)

Yet in the Free World, when they held Power, they banned Christmas in this Free Country as well!

So we celebrate the Puritans at Thanksgiving? Give us all a break please. Despite other inclinations, the Puritans were iconoclasts and whenever and where ever they held power, they banned Christmas!

Yankee-pecksniffy bump! Kick them out of the Union!

You realize, of course, that the Manor Bush and the Kennedy-Schwarzeneggers are going to get you for saying that!
