Why was Christmas banned in America until 1820?

Something to think about....

--------------------

Ephesians 6:12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Psalm 12:6
The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
Hebrews 11:3
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Revelation 3:11
Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

The real question is; why would anybody care that Christmas was banned in America until 1820?

Because maybe some people are not okay with mindlessly following tradition or at the very least watching their friends, family, and fellow human beings be consumed by it...

Maybe they want to know why it even exists in the first place.

Because it was a raunchy party akin to Marde Gras that threatened Puritan ideals.

Actually a decent watch but filled with agenda. Especially using a commentator who adopted the Santa Clause look.

Watch the video and inform yourself.

It is kind of like asking what is "Breaking Bad", in a nutshell? Sure you can get an answer but you are missing out on a whole series of events and experiences.

Only difference is the blood orgies take place in the sewer system that runs under bourbon street. People aren't openly satanic like they used to be.
