Description
At the darkest moment of the year, Christmas arrives as a joyful and magical season. Families and friends come together to share beloved customs and traditions that have been passed down over centuries. While each family has its own unique ways of celebrating, there are many long-standing traditions that we all know and love. The Victorians played a significant role in transforming the way Britain celebrated Christmas in the 19th century. They centred the holiday around the family, with the eating of a festive dinner together, exchanging gifts, and playing games. Many of these traditions continue to be an integral part of British Christmas Day today. This book explores the history behind some of our most cherished Christmas customs, from decorating trees to enjoying mince pies. It's a fascinating look at how the Victorians helped shape our modern-day celebrations.
