I'm assuming that you're referring to Christmas, yes?

Nope. Your feeble Cromwellian attempt to abolish Christmas. I'm very pro Christmas 🎄 and the Jewish holiday celebrated around the same time called Chanukah 🕎

Um, you know Cromwell was a Puritan, right? I don't think he was exactly in favor of the separation of church and state.

I know he was a Puritan. He advocated for and successfully put a ban on Christmas while he ruled Britain. Since that's what this group is trying to do the shoe fits.

I didn't know that - thanks for enlightening me, JCL! You learn something new every day.

Yeah, the Puritans felt that turning religious days into celebrations was inappropriate IIRC.

So Cromwell might would've agreed with Ebowed, but for very different reasons.

Exactly. I think they should be celebrations used to get the message of the faith out and to do good for others.
