Course content:
Georgian Christmases were much quieter and more sedate, although there were also balls and parties. The Victorians and Dickens ‘invented’ the commercial Christmas - we look at it in all its glory and discuss the confections, cards, decorations, games, crackers and of the Christmas tree’s popularity in England.

Finally, a look at Twentieth century Christmas celebrations and how the Festive season was spent from the early century through to the Fifties, including the austerities of wartime which brought about much ingenuity. A jolly, festive afternoon to brighten your day.
