NO CHRISTMAS
Because its inhabitants are
Buddhists and Mohamme-
dans, Christmas Day is never
celebrated on Christmas Is-
land, located in the Indian
Ocean! And no Christmas fes-
tivities are held in Santa
Claus's hometown of Myrna,
Turkey. The birthplace of St.
Nicholas is a Mohammedan
community.
LEGAL HOLIDAY
The only :religious holiday.
recognized as a legalholiday
throughout the United. States
is Christmas. Alabama became
the first state to declare
Christmas a legal holiday, in,
1836. By 1890, all other states
had done the same.
