“For preventing disorders arising in several places within this jurisdiction, by reason of some still observing such festivals as were superstitiously kept in other countries, to the great dishonor of God and offence of others, it is therefore ordered by this Court and the authority thereof, that whosoever shall be found observing any such day as Christmas or the like, either by forbearing of labor, feasting, or any other way, upon such accountants as aforesaid, every person so offending shall pay of every such offence five shillings, as a fine to the county.”
Christmas was almost universally accepted throughout the US by 1840, and was eventually declared a National Holiday in 1870.
I am smoking Gawith Hoggarth Century Black Spice while refreshing my memory in History, later a cup of chamomile before bed.
