  6. Last night I learnt that #Calvinist #Scotland banned #Christmas in the #17thcentury.

    Both my parents were #Irish #Presbyterians of Scottish descent. They celebrated #Xmas.

    So tiday I asked my aged mother about anti-Xmas. Her family did Xmas, but the Presbyterian Church in #Sligo didn't. She says it was only in the 1940s that my grandfather persuaded the Sligo Presbyterians to hold a service on #ChristmasDay.

    I escaped #Presbyterianism >40yrs ago. But I'm still learning how weird it is.
