Yes, Christmas was illegal in the United States for many years. This was due to a law passed by the Continental Congress in 1659 that banned the observance of any religious holidays. The law stated that anyone who celebrated Christmas would face fines or imprisonment. However, this law was eventually repealed in 1836 and Christmas was officially recognized as a national holiday.
