Christmas traditions. It's what we love about the holidays - the tree, the sparkling baubles, the glittering lights. We love this time of exchanging cards with friends and loved ones, catching up on connections that are too often neglected for the rest of the year. And we love the holiday spirit - that spirit that transcends the shopping mall and the credit card, and is so perfectly captured in such Victorian classics as "A Christmas Carol" or "A Vision of St. Nicholas." Chances are, the traditions you love best about Christmas have their roots in the Victorian era. The Victorians didn't exactly invent Christmas - but they certainly reinvented it! It was Queen Victoria's love of the Christmas tree that made it a "must-have" in every family's home. It was a Victorian who invented the Christmas card - thanks to another Victorian who developed the penny stamp that made it possible to send cards in the first place! (Hmm, where's that Victorian when we need him?) Now you can enjoy a rare glimpse of these timeless Victorian traditions in our two exquisite Christmas collections: A Victorian Christmas Treasury and A Victorian Christmas Treasury II. Each volume is like a gigantic Christmas gift, bursting with treats and surprises.
