Reply to comment by Bizprof51 in TIL there was an actual war on Christmas during the English Civil War by ElReydelosLocos

I unfortunately grew up in a very strict religion that believed Christmas was the devils work or pagan whatever. It’s always weird to me when churches start competing for who can be more strict to earn gods love.

Like we’re all gods children, but I’m his favorite.

Philadelphia church of god. It’s a relatively small church but it’s like if jehovah witness was combined with orthodox Jewish

Back then, all sides were very strict and excruciatingly not fun. I imagine Christmas was so boring even where it was allowed
