Oklahoma was the last state to make Christmas an official holiday. Judy from Kirkwood, MO
Alabama I received this from the Alabama State Archives: Actually, there is no such thing. Alabama as the "first state to declare Christmas a holiday" is a story that gets resurrected every year (yours is the third request for background this year), but has no basis in fact. Three generations of archivists (including myself) have searched in vain for any sort of evidence that the claim is true. The legislature, in 1848, did make Christmas a bank holiday, to wit: "Paper due on Christmas, fourth of July, and first of January, to be paid the previous day." That appears as section 1836 of the 1852 Code of Alabama, so maybe that is where the story began. The legislature did not declare Christmas a state holiday until February 1883.
In 1907, Oklahoma became the last U.S. state to declare Christmas an official holiday.
Alabama in 1836. Oklahoma was the last state to do so in 1907. Alabama was the first state to recognize Christmas as an official holiday, in 1836.Three different answers I have found. PennselvaniaWell this is two for me. I read that it was Alabama.Alabama in 1836:)

adults don't tell their children about the real reason of Christmas........They usually buy gift for their kids to make them think that Christmas is only about present.....But, the holiday Christmas is really about the birth of Jesus Christ......
