CHRISTMAS
Arkansas declared Christmas a legal holiday in 1836. This made it one of the first states to recognize Christmas officially. The decision reflected the growing importance of the holiday in American culture during that time.
Alabama was the first American state to declare Christmas an official holiday. By 1890 other states also followed suit. Christmas is the only religious holiday in America, which is also a national legal holiday.
yes Christmas day ia a legal holiday
First, it should be noted that in 1870, congress created the concept of "federal holidays." At that time, congress declared Christmas one of the federal holidays, along with New Year's Day, Independence Day, and Thanksgiving. But long before congress recognized Christmas, Alabama had become the first state to make it an official holiday, in 1836. However, not every state agreed: back then, some states were influenced by Puritanism, and regarded the celebration of Christmas as sinful. Some sources say that Oklahoma was the last state to officially recognize it as a legal holiday, waiting until 1907 to do so.
