Christmas was officially declared a national holiday in the United States in 1870, when President Ulysses S. Grant signed the legislation. Prior to that, Christmas had been celebrated as a religious holiday, but not recognized as an official federal holiday. Since then, Christmas has become a time for families and friends to come together, exchange gifts, and celebrate the season of giving.
