... or to keep Americans from buying it. Not thanksgiving here!

A group of Calvinist religious fanatics, in full rebellion against the traditions of their forefathers, thus brought with them to virgin shores the memetic virus of do-gooding moral evangelism that made Massachusetts ever a plague to the other American colonies, and makes America a plague to the whole world today.  [...]

...the idiots who banned Christmas, a holiday that they correctly identified as “pagan” (and therefore hated for its essential nature), infamously included Mayflower passenger William Bradford, who cracked down on Christmas merriment in 1621—right after the Pilgrims’ first “Thanksgiving”!  [...]

The cultural issue of both groups was the obsession both with change, and with moral scrupulosity, which mutated into New England liberalism.  To those who look to first principles, it is wholly unsurprising that their descendants dabbled in all manner of fantasies from Unitarianism to Transcendentalism to Unitarian Universalism—ultimately winding up as the extreme modern liberals whom we all know and despise.  It is no wonder that liberals love “virtue-signalling”:  They are simply religious zealots who, like the Pilgrims and other Boston-area fanatical cults, have repudiated traditional religions.
