christmas perspective of the Puritans

“For preventing disorders arising…by reason of some still observing
such festivalls as were superstitiously kept in other countrys, to the
great dishonor of God, and offence of others, it is therefore
ordered…that whoever shall be found observing any such days as
Christmas or the like, either by forbearing of labour, feasting, or
any other way…shall pay five shillings as a fine.”-Massachusetts
General Court in 1659
