In 1647, they tried to ban Christmas in Canterbury, England. This led to the Plum Pudding Riots. The Puritan government tried to cancel Christmas and insisted that shops be open on Christmas Day. Few shops opened and the locals of Canterbury decided to play football instead with inflated pig bladders. The mob ripped through the streets of Canterbury paying particular attention to breaking windows. A game of football had turned into a full-blown riot. Plum pudding, mince pies and ale were enjoyed by most all.
