Christmas was first declared a federal holiday in the United States in 1870. This was a result of the efforts of a group of prominent politicians, business leaders, and religious figures who wanted to make Christmas a recognized holiday. The holiday was originally celebrated on December 25, but in 1942, it was moved to the fourth Thursday of December to provide a three-day weekend for workers.
