No but Scotland did ban it in the 1500's and despite the ban being lifted in the 1700's it wasn't a holiday until 1958

It's only in the last 50 years it has become a bigger event than new year in Scotland

Scotland banned christmas after the reformation in 1560 and it wasn't celebrated until the late 1950's

The civil wars were started because charles i tried to interfere with the church of scotland and make the church more like the anglican church

in the end he got his head chopped off and scotland continued without the bishops and christmas etc so not a great idea really
