 Boston, 1659: celebrating Christmas is a crime punishable by fine. England banned Christmas in 1644. Puritans viewed it as pagan corruption without biblical justification. Episode two examines centuries when Christmas was illegal, suppressed, deeply unfashionable in America—not becoming a federal holiday until 1870. Lucien Graves reveals how Charles Dickens invented "Christmas spirit" in 1843, how Prince Albert popularized Christmas trees in 1848, how Thomas Nast created modern Santa.

Puritans waged the original war on Christmas—and lost.
