In the 1600s, Christmas wasn’t just discouraged — it was illegal! Decorations were banned. Churches were closed. Singing carols could get you fined. But the most surprising part? Who was behind it all.

This isn’t about nostalgia or tradition. It’s about formation. Who are we becoming through the way we celebrate?
