Reply to comment by JayneLut in Did Oliver Cromwell Ban Christmas? by Brattonismybae
He himself didn’t say he banned Christmas, however his political party did ban Christmas (1647) at the time albeit unsuccessfully (nobody listened to them). There’s no evidence an order came from him but still it was banned by the puritans, of which he was one.

He was the leader. He is responsible for all actions of his subordinates. If they did under his watch, he’s responsible.
