So. The Victorians are to blame for this overzealous holiday. haha
I completely forgot about poppers, and the wonder ball. What great ideas! <3 I really wish Christmas still was about gathering together and making things for other people rather than what can be store bought....like holiday cards!
I loved your article. Do you have any book recommendations about Victorian lifestyle? I've been looking for some good ones. (Or Victorian history, in general.)
We used to have a turkey/chicken every Christmas. I found it interesting that that is a tradition from then. We switched to prime rib a few years back, though. I occasionally receive homemade gifts from my Mom and friends. My Mom made me this lovely cross stitch, but that was for my birthday. My family and I take a drive around the neighborhoods to view Christmas lights each year. We used to go to the candle lighting at church but we aren't very religiously sentimental so that stopped.
