I only repeat what I read on the wiki answers. Because if it's on the internet it must be true.
To get more specific, Christmas was already recognized as a holiday in the territories that joined the US after 1907. Christmas was not recognized in Oklahoma until after it became a state, so that's why Oklahoma gets the award as being the last state to recognize it as a holiday. Basically, they wouldn't do it until they had to.
