Best Answer

Initially, most did not.

During the 1600's, the Pilgrims who were Puritan separatists, became so disturbed over the pagan history and activities of Christmas that they outlawed it in England and a number of American colonies. People were punished for celebrating Christmas or just staying home from work on Christmas Day.

In New England (America), Christmas was not officially legalized until 1856 .
