Yeah...focus was on Britain. At one point Christmas was outlawed because the British had a tendency, (a good one), to get really drunk and rowdy on Christmas day. Plus a number of English religious leaders felt Christmas was not a big deal and you were suppose to work on Christmas. I think you could even be fined for taking the day off.
 

 Christmas was...gasp...sinful. Ah...Puritans...the Scrooges of their time.
