Victorian Christmas Traditions: Christmas Pudding Christmas pudding is a porridge made by boiling beef and mutton combined with raisins, currants, prunes, spices, eggs, breadcrumbs, ale and spirits. Each member of the family takes turns stirring the thick stew and making a wish. It is the traditional end of a Victo21

rian Christmas dinner. Christmas pudding usually contains a silver coin, a ring, button, and thimble. Tradition says the finders of these respective objects will be given the gift of wealth, be married within the year, or be destined for bachelor or spinsterhood.

Victorian Christmas Traditions

The hugely popular Santa Claus is a very characteristic Victorian tradition. In England, Santa Claus was first known as Father Christmas, who was committed to giving out gifts to children on the eve of Christmas Day.

Christmas Traditions LECTURE

Saturday, Dec. 6: 2pm

Cape May Lutheran Church, 509 Pittsburgh Ave. 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.

Admission $10 For information, call 609-884-5404 or 800-275-4278

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. 33

Victorian Christmas Traditions

Tuesday, December 30 OTHER TOURS & ACTIVITIES

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. 42

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.

Holiday Inns Tour Mondays-Thursdays Dec. 1-11: 1pm-3pm Get into the Christmas spirit with a self-guided visit to three festively decorated Cape May landmarks. You’ll be treated to a holiday presentation at each house.

15 adults 10 children (ages 3-12) $
