Victorian Christmas by Norma Lu Meehan

Step through a window of the past and celebrate Christmas with a family of the Victorian Era. Trim the tree, go ice skating, open gifts, and celebrate the New Year in 1860! Artist Norma Lu Meehan beautifully depicts the fashions of the era for a family of five—Mother, Father, children Emily and Jacob, and Aunt Mary who's in profile to show off those big bustled gowns. What was Christmas like in the mid- to late-1800s? Find out in the delightful essay on Victorian Christmas Traditions by Brenda Sneathen Mattox. This lovely book makes a wonderful gift (or gift yourself!) at Christmastime or any time of the year!
