Yonder peasant, who is he?
Where and what his dwelling?

--Good King Winceslas

Based on the true story of the Canterbury Christmas riots of 1647, "Canceling Christmas" imagines what might have happened when citizens first heard the news that a puritanical British parliament had banned the celebration of Christmas.
