Oliver Cromwell
In 1659, the Massachusetts Bay Colony banned the celebration of Christmas as part of a broader effort to promote Puritanical values. The law was enacted to discourage revelry and maintain a focus on religious observance rather than festive celebrations. Violators faced fines, and the ban remained in effect until 1681, when it was eventually repealed.
Many have been banned at one time or another, usually because they were considered to be obscene. A good example is the West African dance the kolinda, which was banned in England. The waltz was also considered a bit too racy for some when it was first invented because it required a ballroom hold (it took over from the minuet as the standard dance in 3/4 time around 1820).
No, Like a Virgin was never banned, although many countries wanted it banned at the time.

England never cancelled Christmas
Christmas carols are based on Christian lyrics and relate, in the main, to the Nativity. Christmas carols were introduced in to church services by St Francis of Assisi in the 12th century. As for the word carols, "carol" is a derivative of the French word caroller, the interpretation of which means dancing around in a circle. Carol and carols, eventually came to mean not only to dance but included music and lyrics - hence Christmas Caroling.The joyous themes for many traditional Christmas carols were banned in England by the staunch Protestant Oliver Cromwell and many of the very old Christmas carols and songs were subsequently lost for all time. Christmas carols were only fully popularised again during the Victorian era when they again expressed joyful and merry themes in their carol lyrics as opposed to the normal, more sombre, Christian lyrics found in hymns. As religious observances in the United States and England were closely linked the popularity of Christmas carols grew in both countries in the 19th century. Many Christmas traditions are relatively recent such as Santa Claus and reindeer and bear no relation to Christmas carols. We have reflected this in the unusual and beautiful Victorian Angel Pictures we have included for your pleasure and enjoyment. Today Christmas songs and carols are also fast becoming a tradition.Merry Christmas and enjoy singing the wonderful words and lyrics to the Christmas carols & Christmas songs featured on this Christmas carols and songs website.
