In 1647, they tried to ban Christmas in Canterbury, England.
This led to the Plum Pudding Riots.
The Puritan government tried to cancel Christmas and insisted that shops be open on Christmas Day.
Few shops opened and the locals of Canterbury decided to play football instead with inflated pig bladders. The mob ripped through the streets of Canterbury paying particular attention to breaking windows. A game of football had turned into a full-blown riot. Plum pudding, mince pies and ale were enjoyed by most all.

Ban Christmas? Have you not heard of the Plum Pudding Riots?
Plum pudding with cream, spotted dick with custard, roly-poly with jam, gooseberry tart with ginger or hobnobs with chocolate?
Euphemism with sauce, please.

Get the riot noisemug. Exploding onto the thriving Minneapolis scene in the fall of 2005, White Light Riot are brothers Mike (vocals, guitar) and Mark (drums) Schwandt, Joe Christenson (lead guitar), and Dan Larsen (bass). White Light Riot released their first full-length, Atomism, for 50 Entertainment, in late 2007. Produced by Brent Sigmeth (Grant Hart, They Might Be Giants), the album is a lightning-hot 50 minutes of brilliant, swaggering pop, laced with jagged hooks and shot through with anthemic choruses.

A do-gooder who likes to clean up the streets after a riot. Names after the well known Wombles of Wimbledon Common, who make good use of the things that they find, the things that the everyday folk leave behind.
Look out for the riot wombles on their way to Clapham Junction. They'll be armed with strong language, brooms and bin bags.
