8. In America Christmas Had to Begin Again
When America broke from the English in 1776, most English traditions were cast aside with great disdain. That rejection is a small part of the reason that America is actually a coffee-drinking country, not a tea-drinking one (but I digress). For nearly a hundred years, Christmas had to regain its foothold in the United States, while the rest of the world joined in the fun. As it grew, America transformed Christmas into the family-focused holiday that’s largely celebrated today (stupid Pilgrim nation). Of course, while Christmas was extremely popular by the mid-nineteenth century, it wasn’t declared an official US holiday until 1870.
