Now, this was Presbyterians, Baptists, and



           Methodists in the early 1800s.  It goes on to



           say:




                  "But the Episcopalians and Catholics and



           the German churches were all open.  Inside



           they were decked with evergreens.”




                  Now, this was an article that came out in



           1865  on  December  26th  in  the  New  York



           Daily Times, and it says that at this time the



           Baptists,  the  Presbyterians,  and  Methodists



           did not consider Christmas as a holy day, but



           the  Episcopalians,  the  Catholics,  and  the



           German churches considered it as a holy day



           and had their celebrations.




                  Just a few other quotes and I'm through:
