TRIVIA NIGHTS Team Trivia with Ed & Joe

Victorian Christmas Traditions

Candles were an important part of Victorian Christmas traditions. Many homes used an Advent wreath to decorate during the holidays. It was common to place lighted candles in a home’s windows during the 12 days of Christmas to signify that food and shelter was available for weary travelers. Businesspeople also frequently gave candles to their customers as gifts.

The German husband of Queen Victoria, Prince Albert, brought and introduced the Christmas tree from Germany to the United Kingdom in the 1840s. From Windsor castle, the tree’s popularity spread rapidly, becoming even more popular in the US than it ever was in England.

Victorian Christmas Traditions

Before the middle of the 19th century, the kissing bough was the primary piece of decorative greenery in the Victorian home for the holidays. A kissing bough, sometimes called a kissing ball, is a double hoop of evergreen boughs, holly, ivy, apples, pears, ribbons, lighted candles, and other ornaments with streamers going up to a central point and a sprig of mistletoe hung from its center. Victorian Christmas traditions dictate that any woman who wanders under the kissing bough has to allow herself to be kissed. 34

Episcopal Church of the Advent, Franklin & Washington Streets Learn how Prince Albert brought Christmas traditions from Germany to England when he married Queen Victoria, and how these traditions spread to America. Much of what we associate with Christmas comes from the Victorian era, including Christmas trees, Christmas cards, Christmas carols and our images of Santa Claus. Learn more about these cherished traditions in this richly illustrated program.

Victorian Christmas Traditions

Perhaps one of the most popular Victorian Christmas traditions that is still observed today is the sending of Christmas cards. The practice of sending printed Christmas cards was a modification of the then customary writing of greetings by English children to their parents. The printed cards enjoyed huge success and later on became a contagious practice that spread from England to the rest of the UK then to the rest of the world. More than a century later, we still send Christmas cards by the truckload to destinations around the globe.

Victorian Christmas Traditions

A photo of Queen Victoria, who was quite the trendsetter in her day, near a bedecked Christmas tree with her family sparked a tree-trimming frenzy in Victorian households. The German custom of tabletop Christmas trees was taken to new heights by Victorians who placed them on the floor in their homes. They adorned their beloved evergreens with flickering candles, fancy paper Santas, glistening angels, chocolate wreaths, gilded apples, and silver cornucopias holding treats decorated with tinsel. 49

Victorian Christmas Traditions

VICTORIAN CHRISTMAS No era in history has influenced the way in which we celebrate Christmas, quite as much as the Victorians. Before Victoria’s reign started in 1837, nobody in Britain had heard of Santa Claus or Christmas Crackers. No Christmas cards were sent and most people did not have holidays from work. The wealth and technologies generated by the industrial revolution of the Victorian era changed the face of Christmas forever. Sentimental do-gooders like Charles Dickens wrote books like “A Christmas Carol”, published in 1843, which actually encouraged rich Victorians to redistribute their wealth by giving money and gifts to the poor – Humbug! These radical middle class ideals eventually spread to the notquite-so-poor as well. The wealth generated by the new factories and industries of the Victorian age allowed middle class families in England and Wales to take time off work and celebrate over two days, Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Boxing Day, December 26th, earned its name as the day servants and working people opened the boxes in which they had collected gifts of money from the “rich folk.” Those new fangled inventions, the railways, allowed the country folk who had moved into the towns and cities in search of work to return home for a family Christmas. At the start of Victoria’s reign, children’s toys tended to be handmade and hence expensive, generally restricting availability to the rich. With factories, however, came mass production, which brought with it games, dolls, books and clockwork toys all at a more affordable price, at least to the middle class. In a “poor child’s” Christmas stocking, which first became popular from around 1870, only an apple, orange and a few nuts could be found. Normally associated with the bringer

of the above gifts, is Father Christmas or Santa Claus. The two are in fact two entirely separate stories. Father Christmas was originally part of an old English midwinter festival, normally dressed in green, a sign of the returning spring. The stories of St. Nicholas (Sinter Klaas in Holland) came via Dutch settlers to America in the 17th Century. Sinter Klass became known in Britain as Santa Claus and with him came his unique gift and toy distribution system – reindeer and sleigh. Turkeys had been brought to Britain from America years before Victorian times. When Victoria first came to the throne however, both chicken and turkey were too expensive for most people to enjoy. In northern England, roast beef was the traditional fare for Christmas dinner while in London and the south, goose was favorite. Many poor people made do with rabbit. On the other hand, the Christmas Day menu for Queen Victoria and family in 1840 included both beef and, of course, a royal roast swan or two. By the end of the century most people feasted on turkey for their Christmas dinner. Queen Victoria’s German husband Prince Albert helped to make the Christmas tree as popular in Britain as they where in his native Germany, when he brought one to Windsor Castle in the 1840’s. Christmas Crackers were invented by Tom Smith, a London sweet maker, in 1846. The original idea was to wrap his sweets in a twist of fancy coloured paper, but this developed and sold much better when he added love notes, paper hats, small toys and made them go off BANG! 50

Women’s magazines during the late 1800s encouraged making holiday gifts rather than buying them ready made. According to Joy to the World, in 1890 editor Emma Hopper wrote: “An article one makes is certainly more complimentary than one bought, for we weave with every stitch sweet wishes for the recipient.” Homemade gift suggestions included knitted mittens, embroidered bed slippers and handkerchiefs, stenciled lampshades, hand-painted button boxes and perhaps a hand-stitched black apron for the lady in mourning on a Victorian gift list.

Victorians would often venture out on Christmas Day to visit relatives and close friends, deliver dinners to the poor and infirmed, or attend candlelit church services. Those remaining at home would many times enjoy Bible readings recounting the nativity story in addition to the numerous other festivities of the day. 68

Victorian Christmas Traditions

In addition to decorating a handsome Christmas tree, Victorians also adorned the sideboard, mantle, banisters, and most any other wooden surface available with rope upon rope of evergreen garland. Fresh mistletoe made its way into town as well, and hung in bountiful balls around the home. The olden tradition of warming the hearth with a specially cut Yule log continued on to foster continued good health and prosperity. 70

Victorian Christmas Traditions

In the days before radio, television and movies, entertainment was spun closer to home. In fact, the Victorian parlor where a piano or organ often stood was center stage for Christmas Day entertainment. Family members and visiting friends would recite poems, read lively stories, offer songs, or pick up an instrument for a musical solo. Children would practice for weeks in preparation. Parlor games were also played including charades and the reenactment of historical events. All the while, a bowl of wassail or mulled spiced cider was on hand for refreshment. 81

Dickens Christmas Extravaganza Sunday-Tuesday, Dec. 3-5

Welcome friends, to Cape May’s 32nd annual Dickens Christmas Extravaganza! Cape May is the perfect place to celebrate Dickens and the holidays, as it is transformed into a Victorian Christmas Village during this season. Immerse yourself in the world of Dickens through lectures and performances.

SUNDAY, DEC. 3

7:30pm: The Dickens You Say- Elliot Engel Now that two centuries have passed since Dickens’ birth in 1812, Professor Engel examines what aspects of Dickens’ multifaceted genius make the most impact on his twenty-first century readers, and he reveals his own triumphs and trials in founding and maintaining the largest Dickens Fellowship Branch in the world since 1982. (Cape May Stage’s Robert Shackleton Playhouse, Lafayette & Bank Streets)

MONDAY, DEC. 4

9:30am: The Importance of Being Ernest Hemingway - Elliot Engel Ernest Hemingway is that rarest of literary figures because his life and personality are far better known to the public than his novels. Dr. Engel looks at the shaping forces of both his tumultuous personal life and the triumphant success of so many of his works of fiction and also makes clear that he was equally famous for creating a modern prose style that is still influential today, more than 50 years after his tragic death. (Cape May Stage’s Robert Shackleton Playhouse, Lafayette & Bank Streets) 10:30am: The Wizardry of Oz: L. Frank Baum & The American Fairy Tale - Elliot Engel Dr. Engel reveals the life of L. Frank Baum and the reasons for the enduring and endearing fame of his masterpiece: THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ. Using anecdotes, analysis, and large doses of humor, Professor Engel brings to life this most fascinating of fairy tale writers. (Cape May Stage’s Robert Shackleton Playhouse, Lafayette & Bank Streets)

MAC

TUESDAY, DEC. 5

10am: The Influence of Prince Albert on Victorian Christmas - Joe Rondinelli Christmas is the most festive time of the year. Where did our current Christmas traditions come from and how have they evolved? This well-researched PowerPoint presentation examines the origins of many of our time-honored Christmas traditions in the Victorian era. (Cape May Stage’s Robert Shackleton Playhouse, Lafayette & Bank Streets) 11am: The Americanization of Santa: From Saint to Claus -Jack Denys Learn the fascinating story of the evolution of Bishop/ Saint Nicholas through the Dutch Sinterklaas, Washington Irving’s Knickerbocker Santa, Clement Moore’s “Visit from St. Nicholas” and Thomas Nast’s Civil War Santas to the Coca Cola Santa of today. (Cape May Stage’s Robert Shackleton Playhouse, Lafayette & Bank Streets) 12Noon: Lunch on your own

2pm: The Many Faces of Charlies Dickens - Herb Moskovitz A brief study of the many portraits of the great author. Charles Dickens was drawn, painted, photographed, caricatured and even immortalized on Royal Doulton porcelain. Thanks to the level of his celebrity, he was portrayed probably more times than most of contemporary Victorian personalities. Cape May Stage’s Robert Shackleton Playhouse, Lafayette & Bank Streets) 7pm: Dickens Feast: Join your fellow Dickensians at Union Park Dining Room in the Hotel Macomber, 727 Beach Avenue. Guests can chose from several entrée selections. Coffee, tea and Iced Tea included. Local wines available by the bottle. Open only to full package participants.

12Noon: Lunch on your own 2pm: Temperance Debate Dr. Physick moderates a debate over temperance and prohibition between a leader of Cape May’s Women’s Christian Temperance Union and a local saloon owner in Cape May circa 1890s. Extensive audience participation is encouraged. (Nauti Spirits Distillery, 916 Shunpike Rd., North Cape May) Includes a tasting. (Open only to full package participants) Monday evening is a free evening for you. MAC offers evening tours. Tickets can be purchased at the Washington Street Mall Information Booth. 92

Individual tickets for lectures are available at $15 per lecture; Admission to the complete Dickens Christmas Extravaganza is $175 per person and includes all lectures, performances & tours, plus the Gala Dickens Feast Tuesday evening. Complete packages with accommodations are also available from participating inns For more information or to order tickets call 609-884-5404 or 800-275-4278 Event co-sponsored by the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts & Humanities (MAC) and the Philadelphia Chapter of the Dickens World Fellowship

GHOSTS

IN VICTORIAN CAPE MAY Cape May is reputedly one of America’s most haunted towns, and nowhere else is this reputation so well-earned as at the 1879 Emlen Physick Estate, Cape May’s original haunted house. For years, MAC’s staffers had felt they were not alone in the house, but it was not until psychic medium Craig McManus began his investigations into the town’s paranormal activities that those who were not regular members of the MAC staff were identified. McManus, who has written several books about Cape May’s hauntings and has documented spirit activity at dozens of the town’s quaint B&B inns and hotel properties, has spent a great deal of time at the Physick house and has identified several of its residents. Most prominent among them is Dr. Physick’s Aunt Emilie, who has great energy and a vibrant smile, according to McManus. “This is a ghost who knows everything that is going on in her home,” McManus wrote. He also explained that, after her death, Emilie had stayed on to watch over the house, which had fallen into disrepair before its restoration began in 1970. Dr. Physick’s mother, Frances Ralston, is no longer in the house, according to McManus, but the strong presence she exerted in her lifetime is still felt as “residual energy,” especially in her bedroom on the second floor, the paranormal hot spot of the home.

Another resident is Isabelle, or Bella, Mrs. Ralston’s invalid younger sister who died in 1883, shortly after the family moved into the mansion. Among the unique spirits that McManus has reported are several of Dr. Physick’s dogs. He encountered several in the house on his first visit, and one romping through the gardens on a later visit. Apparently, there is some disturbance when the dogs are about, because they were never allowed in the house by Mrs. Ralston. Aunt Emilie, however, had a softer spot for Dr. Physick’s canine companions, and prepared their dinners in the estate’s kitchen, and would let them in the house when Mrs. Ralston was absent. The estate’s Carriage House also has its resident spirit, which has been heard by several of the MAC staff whose offices are on the building’s second floor. McManus said this could be one of the servants, possibly a groomsman or driver. One of MAC’s most popular ghost tours is Seance at the Physick Estate, where McManus leads a group of 25 people through the house to commune with its spirit residents. “Cape May’s original haunted house never disappoints,” McManus wrote about a recent tour. “It was one of the best haunting experiences I have had in my career! “There are very few real haunted mansions of this caliber that are open to the public,” he wrote in his book. “If you love the paranormal, this is a must visit!”

Among the unique spirits that McManus has reported are several of Dr. Physick’s dogs.
