why was christmas banned in the united states

The United States was founded by Puritans who did not celebrate Christmas. In fact, they even banned the holiday for many years. However, as the country became more secular and diverse, Christmas began to be celebrated more and more. Today, it is one of the most popular holidays in the United States and is celebrated by people of all religions. So, Christmas was not always celebrated in the United States, but it is now an important part of our culture.
