A Merry, Very Victorian Christmas! is a bit like a holiday smorgasbord, filled with our most beloved American Christmas traditions! A clever and thoughtful Christmas gift for teachers, Christmas stockings, grab bags, business contacts and spur-of-the-moment presents, this collection of history, trivia, tales and traditions - illustrated with classic 19th Century prints from Thomas Nast, Winslow Homer and other iconic artists whose artwork appeared in such publications as "Godey's Magazine and Lady's Book" and "Harper's Weekly" - will quickly become indispensable reading for every trivia, history or holiday buff on your list! Like the first yearly appearance of snow - so familiar, and yet so magical - the Victorian-inspired Christmas many of us create each year is a world of holly and ivy, "Silent Night" and Tiny Tim, Christmas trees and candy canes, Santa Claus and sleigh bells. How did these things become such an integral part of our American Christmas? Within these pages one will find many of the histories, anecdotes, and legends of the traditional foods, stories and songs that became popular in America during the Victorian era (1837-1901) and are still celebrated, enjoyed and cherished today, such as: the lyrics and background to twenty-two of America's favorite traditional Christmas carols; instructions for twelve classic Victorian games to play; the stories of Saint Nicholas and Santa Claus; Christmas during the Civil War and in the era of the general store; the fascinating trivia and facts surrounding Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol"; the complete "A Visit from Saint Nicholas" by Clement Clarke Moore; Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem "Christmas Bells" ("I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day"); the heartwarming "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus"; and six original stories, ranging from "The Legend of the Poinsettia" to the beautiful story of the origin of the beloved carol "Silent Night," that beg to be read aloud to children, family and friends. Filled with amazing and obscure facts, the fascinating stories and histories of the things we do at Christmas every year - often without ever understanding why! - is certain to delight young and old alike.

Have you ever wanted to attend a Victorian Christmas celebration? Well now you can, in Once Upon a Christmas Feast you not only get an original story, but menus, recipes, favorite Victorian Christmas stories and songs. What's in this jam-packed Victorian Christmas celebration of a tome? First: an original Once Upon a Wedding short story. "Once Upon a Fairytale Christmas." The Duchess of Keystone is an unconventional woman who loves fairytales and happily ever after endings. When it comes to Christmas, she loves nothing better than to have her family gathered at her estate enjoying Christmas joy, food, games, and entertainment. This year, her niece Margause arrives to view the wonder of a fairytale Christmas celebration. At three, Margause loves to slip into the library of the ducal estate, where her parents fell in love, and peruse the books she hopes to read one day soon.Observant and advanced for her age, Margause notices that her aunts and uncles are not as happy as they should be about her Aunt Kate’s upcoming Twelfth Night wedding to a handsome, charming Irish rogue. She also doesn’t understand why her mother’s former governess Katherine tries so hard to cheer up Scroogish Sir Robert. It seems obvious to Margause that Sir Robert would need Mr. Dicken’s three ghosts to make him feel any Christmas joy. But then, what else does the Duchess of Keystone offer everyone, but a chance at a fairytale Christmas, where miracles happen around every corner. Next: An Appendix of traditional Victorian Christmas stories and essays by Charles Dickens...what? You didn't know "A Christmas Carol" wasn't his only Christmas story? Nope. Dickens, along with Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, are actually responsible for making Christmas the holiday we celebrate today. You'll also find it handy to have the lyrics to several Christmas favorite songs, so you can make sure to lead your family in rounds of "The Twelve Days of Christmas" without messing up the lyrics. All in all, Once Upon a Christmas Feast is your guide to celebrating a very Victorian Christmas.

At the darkest moment of the year, when the nights seem endless and the days very short, comes that most joyful of festivals. Christmas is a truly magical season, bringing families and friends together to share the much-loved customs and traditions that over the centuries have come to surround this heart-warming and deeply symbolic occasion. Each family has their own personal traditions, and ways they celebrate the special day. Yet underneath the tinsel, fairy lights and wrapping paper are many long-standing traditions that we all know and love. Why do we drag a fir tree inside our house and decorate it? How long Santa has been delivering gifts to good children? What would Christmas be like without mince pies? We owe a lot to the Victorians. They transformed the way Britain celebrated Christmas in the 19th century and we continue with their traditions today. In 1848 a British confectioner by the name of Tom Smith came up with the idea of wrapping sweets inside a package that snapped when pulled apart. It was the Victorians that really centred Christmas round the family, with the eating of a Christmas dinner together, giving gifts and playing games. All these things have become central to a British Christmas Day.

This collection lovingly restores 45 Victorian carols to a thoroughly authentic holiday context: the parlors and hearths of Victorian homes, where the hammered dulcimer, or piano harp, as it was known, was a favorite instrument for musical evenings. A Victorian Christmas offers a delightful assortment of the popular carols of the day, from those still well known today, including The First Nowell, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, Greensleeves, The Holly and the Ivy, and The Wassail Song, to a treasure trove of lesser-known gems, including The Cherry Tree Carol, The Carnal and the Crane, My Dancing Day, The Praise of Christmas, The Furry Day Carol, and The Sans Day Carol.
