The Victorians also transformed the idea of Christmas so that it became centered around the family. The preparation and eating of the feast, decorations, and gift-giving, entertainments, and parlor games – all were essential to the celebration of the festival and were to be shared by the whole family.
This book is An exploration of the exuberant American approach to Christmas during the Victorian era.
