What are some modern Christmas customs that trace their origins to Victorian times?
-
I'm trying to work on this project for school, but I'm finding it hard to find information. Do you know of any modern Christmas customs that trace their origins to Victorian times (such as when A Christmas Carol took place)? Or do you know of any place where information could be found? Thanks in advance!

Answer:
This website (http://www.literary-liaisons.com/article016.html) has a short article about Christmas customs from the Victorian Era that we still celebrate today and the article even lists a few book references at the end if you need to do further research. Some of the traditions include the first Christmas Card, the Christmas tree, and numerous Christmas Carols. This website (http://mural.uv.es/agoboy/viccos.html) which is a little hard to read has a list of several Victorian customs, including the idea of the gift giving Santa came about in 1870. An interesting thing to note about the Victorian Christmas that continues today is the emphasis on family, children and charity during the Holiday season. I hope this helps, Erika Library Science Graduate Student

The poem "A night before Christmas" presented an image of Santa with a round little belly, reindeer, etc. I think that was written just before the Victorian era and influenced the celebration of Christmas. Check it out on wikipedia.
