Today's True Weird Stuff - The First War On Christmas
Imagine living in a world where people hated Christmas...so much so that they banned people from celebrating it. We're not talking about some grumpy, green-colored mean one, or a cold-hearted miser. These were Puritans in Massachusetts Bay Colony in the 17th Century...people like Governor William Bradford and Reverend Increase Mather. Their hatred of Christmas showed no restraint, these folks made the Grinch look like a saint.
