“Pilgrims? Christmas?”
Yes & yes.

I’m fairly certain they ate most of the year and despite rumors to the contrary they ate more cod, more often than any other protein.

The Pilgrims were Separatists not Puritans.

They celebrated Christmas.

The Captain of the Mayflower broke out a barrel of beer in honor of the day.
