Puritans were known for their strict religious beliefs and practices, which included opposition to nonreligious traditional Christmas customs. They sought to remove what they considered excesses and pagan influences from Christmas celebrations, focusing instead on the religious aspects of the holiday. This stance led to conflicts with those who wished to maintain traditional celebrations that included feasting, games, and other secular festivities.
