No one celebrated Christmas quite like the Victorians. The  festivities began with Thanksgiving and extended through New Year’s Day (and sometimes Twelfth Night). The Gibson House continues to embrace many customs the Victorians popularized–like the Christmas tree–although others, like the once-traditional gift of an orange, have fallen by the wayside.

Etiquetteer Robert B. Dimmick delves into the food, gifts, entertaining, and superstitions involved in Victorian celebrations.
