Oliver Cromwell and the Puritan government sought to purify English society by imposing strict moral and religious codes during the Interregnum. They viewed Christmas and various forms of entertainment, such as dancing, theater, and sports, as sinful distractions from true worship and piety. The ban on activities like bear baiting, cockfighting, and even wearing makeup stemmed from their belief that these practices promoted vice and immorality. Ultimately, Cromwell aimed to foster a more austere and devout society aligned with Puritan values.
