Victorian Christmas Traditions |
 |
-
Charles Dickens'
A Christmas Carol
-
Ivy and pine holly symbolize the
renewal of life and good luck
-
Father Christmas, tall and
skinny, wears a long, red-hooded robe
trimmed in white fur
-
Stockings are hung by the fire in
hopes that Father Christmas will fill
them with gold covered chocolate coins
-
Mince tarts, plum pudding and sugar
mice
-
Christmas crackers filled with toys
and a crown
With warmest thanks to my friend Judy
