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. 18

Victorian Christmas Traditions

The next time you exchange gifts with friends and family, remember that this traditional Christmas practice was started during the Victorian era. During the reign of Queen Victoria, the middle class people started making hand-made toys that were then given to children for free on Christmas Day. 19

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. 30

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. 34

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. 41

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. 49

Victorian Christmas Traditions

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. 65

Victorian Christmas Traditions

The roast turkey also has its beginnings in Victorian Britain. Previously other forms of roasted meat such as beef and goose were the centerpiece of the Christmas dinner. The turkey was added to this by the more wealthy sections of the community in the 19th century, but its perfect size for a middle class family gathering meant it became the dominant dish by the beginning of the 20th century. 79

Dickens Christmas Sunday-Tuesday, Dec. 2-4

Welcome friends, to Cape May’s 33rd 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. 2

7:30PM: Elliot Engel-The ARTISTIC Genius: Leonardo de Vinci: Before The Code Many scholars consider Leonardo Da Vinci to be the greatest artistic genius in the history of Western Civilization. Dr. Engel probes the breadth and depth of Leonardo’s extraordinary mind while revealing the fascinating causes for his many unfinished masterpieces. He even tackles the universal mystery of Mona Lisa’s smile.

MONDAY, DEC. 3

9AM: Elliot Engel: The BUSINESS Genius: The VANDERBILTS: All Of Them Dr. Engel traces the amazing tale of this famous American dynasty from Cornelius, born in the eighteenth century, to Gloria of the designer jeans. Their triumphs and tragedies are placed in the context of family dynamics and historical influences. Using anecdotes, analysis, and large doses of humor, Professor Engel brings to life this most remarkable of fabulously wealthy families. 10:30AM: Elliot Engel: The PIRATE Genius: “BLACKBEARD! PIRATE ENEMY NUMBER ONE” Everybody knows that Blackbeard has the most fearsome reputation of any pirate in history. What is not known, however, is the astonishing story of how this quiet and quite educated young man, Edward Teach, transformed himself into the Scourge of the High Seas. Dr. Engel will provide all the hair-raising background and context to “shiver the timbers” of his captivated audience. 12Noon: Lunch on your own 2PM: Ellie Dunn: A Discussion of David Copperfield David Copperfield is the eighth novel by Charles Dickens. The novel’s full title is “The Personal History, Adventures, Experience and Observation of David Copperfield the Younger of Blunderstone Rookery (Which He Never Meant to Publish on Any Account).” Monday evening is a free evening for you. MAC offers evening tours. Tickets can be purchased at the Washington Street Mall Information Booth.

Extravaganza

MAC

TUESDAY, DEC. 4

10AM: Joe Rondinelli: “Victorian Influence on the American Civil War” What were the characteristics of the Victorian Era (the reign of Queen Victoria 1837 to 1901) in America? How did Victorian culture affect attitudes and the conduct of the Civil War (1861 to 1865)? Who were the prominent American Victorians of the Era? 11AM: Jack Andre Denys: “A Washington Irving Christmas” We usually think of Irving at Halloween, but he also made significant contributions to our modern celebration of Christmas. Optional reading: The five Christmas stories in Irving’s “Sketch Book.” 12Noon: Lunch on your own 2PM: Rich Chiemingo: “Charles Dickens and Music” Musical references abound in Dickens’ 15 novels- little wonder since he loved songs and sang them well. This talk will include numerous readings from the stories and musical examples. 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.

Lectures held at Cape May Stage’s Robert Shackleton Playhouse, Lafayette & Bank Sts.) Individual tickets for lectures are available at $15 per lecture, $10 for MAC members and $5 for students; 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 Event co-sponsored by the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts & Humanities (MAC) and the Philadelphia Chapter of the Dickens World Fellowship
