Christmas in the New England colonies was, for the most part, just another day. Puritans and Protestants detested the entire celebration, and likened it to “pagan rituals”. But some colonists enjoyed an array of festivities such as singing carols, decorating their homes, and hosting feasts.

Special thanks to the Friends of Mahopac Library for their sponsorship of this event.
