But as this quotation demonstrates, Christmas was not even celebrated by many of the Christian Churches as late as 1886. See {629844} for a similar example.

The Christian Advocate was a weekly newspaper published in New York City by the Methodist Episcopal Church. It began publication in 1826 and by the mid-1830s had become the largest circulating weekly in the United States, with more than 30,000 subscribers and an estimated 150,000 readers. After changes of name and a split into two publications, publication ceased in 1975.
