About the Book
When the English parliament outlawed the celebration of Christmas in 1642, the Christmas-loving Englishmen responded fiercely. Many cities witnessed the full force of the Englishman's craving for Christmas, which included riots and violence. The ban on Christmas also sparked a passionate literary debate.

It took me just over four years to do the research needed to write 'The Christmas Controversy'. The book now contains references to almost exclusively contemporary publications about Christmas.
