Celebrate yuletide the Victorian way by coloring in festive depictions of the Christmas season. Many ideas about what Christmas is today can be traced to the reign of Queen Victoria and her own ideas of the holiday. As the British Empire grew, Christmas became a meld of different cultures around Western Europe and North America, creating the “typical,” nostalgic Christmas that we now recognize, such as: Decorative indoor Christmas trees Evergreen decorations, such as holly and fir garlands Front doors festooned with wreaths made of holly, ivy, pine cones, and ribbons  Christmas cards  The image of Father Christmas (Santa Claus) Giving presents and charity on Christmas Eve Celebrating with Christmas crackers and enormous feasts You can encounter some of these traditions, and many more, in the nostalgic pages of A Victorian Christmas Coloring, with more than 120 designs to choose from and meditative back-of-page patterns to color in.
