"The First Puritan Christmas Tree"
The Puritans disparaged Christmas as “Foolstide” and thoroughly discouraged its celebration. The Plymouth Pilgrims even spent their first Christmas Day in the New World putting up a building, thereby showing their complete contempt for the holiday.
This story is set during that time in America. Nothing is known about its author. It was published in 1895 in a collection of stories called "A Budget of Christmas Tales".
Excerpt:
Mrs. Olcott called her boys, and bade them go to the pine woods and get the finest, handsomest young hemlock tree that they could find. “Get one that is straight and tall, with well-boughed branches on it, and put it where you can draw it under the wood-shed after dark”
