Merry Christmas! Victorian Holiday Traditions
Why do we send Christmas cards? Who had the first modern Christmas tree? When did Santa get his iconic red suit? All of these traditions have their roots in Victorian times. We will learn how and when these and other traditions started and see how much of our modern practices got their start in the 1800's. *
*Zoom information will be send via email several days prior to the event.**
