Christmas's slow rise from religious rite to extended season
The article recalls Christmas history from Puritan opposition in early America to the 1800s when it became a religious holiday. It notes how commerce extended the season from Thanksgiving toward Labor Day and describes old time customs such as turkey shoots, Christmas trees brought by German immigrants, gift scarcity, and early church services. It cites August Imgard, who popularized the first lighted Christmas tree in America, and ends with memories of Santa letters and a blue devil fan’s festive poem.
