My grandmothers parents did not put up a christmas tree until the children went to sleep on christmas eve. Christmas day their father got up early and started fires in the downstairs fireplaces , then lit the candles on the christmas tree and called down the children. The candles did not stay lit long due to the danger of fire. I imagine the magic of seeing the lit christmas tree on christmas morning was an awesome thing to wake up to. Many many years later when we were very poor and struggling i was not expecting much of a christmas when i was 7 years old. On christmas morning i woke up and went into the living room. Amazingly there was a decorated tree with the lights on and i had never seem such a lovely tree. The colored lights shone through the angel hair artfully arranged so carefully. They looked like they were in a fog. I never seen a tree decorated like that since then. Gorgeous! ( The angel hair is made from fine glass fibers. I imagine it was like handling itchy fiberglass). We were rather poor at the time and i believe my mother sold her wedding rings to pay for it since i never saw them after that christmas. It is one of two christmas i remember very fondly since there were so special .

Amazing story. Reminds me of O. Henry’s “The Gift of the Maji”. I think a lot, if not most people go through a time when money is particularly tight. I know we did - two youngish boys, and double lay-offs when the IT boom began to wane. I never had to sell my rings, but it came close to going to a food bank. We still managed to squeeze out a happy Christmas. That’s when you really know it’s about the love and not the gifts. I wish you well this Christmas. ✌️🎄🎅🏻

Bravo, Sarah and family! Your hard work saved a beautiful home from the wrecking ball. I’m so glad that you’ve made it into a wedding venue. What a gift to marrying couples! Loved that you and the family completely immersed yourselves in period costume and customs. Your children are on board with it all. They were actually grateful for whatever they received as Christmas presents. You’ve taught them well!

When i was 9 my mom was sick in the hospital and it was going to be a sad christmas without her. Her friend went and got a a sad scrawny christmas tree and helped me and my brother to decorate it. It was so sparse of needles but we made it look lovely with many icicles. This was when they were made of lead instead of plastic tinsel. It draped beautifully and filled in the starseness of the mostly bare branches and when we added the ornaments it was complete. I was surprised the next morning when me and my brother found gifts under it. A couple of metal tonka trucks for my brother and a coat made of fake leather made to look like a spotted black and white cow. When i tried it on and turned up the collar around my neck i realized it would make a great spy trenchcoat. When my mom came home and i was sent to get her prescriptions from the pharmacy and it was raining lightly. I imagined i was a spy on a secret mission. My ugly little coat had become an important prop for my imagination. Better than any toy ever! It was a very small christmas that year but it one of two christmases i remember with happiness.

I love the reaction of your children to the makeshift Xmas gifts of wartime Britain. Sheer magic! May we all be so thankful and captivated this Xmas! 😅

It's nice hearing that so many Christmas cards are still being sent in the UK today. Unfortunately, I don't think it's such a big thing in the US anymore. I still send them, but rarely receive any. Apparently just a quick Facebook post wishing everyone a Merry Christmas is now good enough. It's a shame. Sometimes a physical card is the only "gift" a lonely person may get. I'm a widow, with no children. I'd love to find cards in my mailbox.

@CFinch360 8 месяцев назад

We personally don't send or receive physical cards any more, but "a quick FaceBook post wishing everyone a Merry Christmas" is not the norm amongst my friends nor anyone I know-we send and receive individual texts, many pictures, and all the news. It's much more personal and interesting than a card or one of those printed 'yearly letters' people used to send out. And it's much more spontaneous and immediate-no waiting days or weeks to get a card. Plus you can be sure that your electronic message is actually delivered/read! FYI I'm above 65 years old, and if I feel lonely, I volunteer to help others, it instantly erases any sadness or loneliness.

@Howiesgirl 8 месяцев назад

@@CFinch360 I guess each person is different in what they like. I've never done emails because I never could afford a computer, & didn't get a smart phone until I was able to get one for very low cost from a govt program. My phone data is the only internet I have. And I love going to get my mail & finding something other than bills during the month of December. And I like to hang the cards up for decoration. It's wonderful that you're able to volunteer. Unfortunately, my health keeps me at home or at the cancer center most of the time. Although, even if I weren't so ill, my lack of transportation limits where I can go. (Small town, no public transport.) Thankfully my medical care comes with it's own transportation, or I'd be in a jam. Hope 2024 has started out well for you- I wish you the best.

One reason Christmas Cards have lost popularity in the U.S. is because our postage rates keep going up as well as price of cards. I now only send to those who have no family or live far away usually less than 10 cards which will cost me over $20 to buy nice cards & pay the postage!

@@heidimiller5475 I often drink Hogue Riesling myself. We think the Hogue winery in Washington must be a relation. My husbands family name used to be spelled Haig. They were the oldest distillers of whisky in Scotland - starting in 1620. They got in trouble once for distilling on the Sabbath, according to family legend. Their brand was Haig & Haig (called Dimple or Pinch) for the distinctive bottle. The family sold the distillery long ago.

I don't know if it was a standard tradition or just my grandmother's. But, she made a Christmas cake with a charm in it. Whoever got the charm would have good luck in the new year. My mom and her sisters each had charm bracelets with the charms they got from the cake. Sadly those bracelets were lost through time. But it was a way to keep the spirit of Christmas alive through the whole year.

It's more of a french tradition on January 6th, Kings-Day. They bake a little ceramic figurine with the cake and who gets it is said to have luck and wears a paper crown for the day.

To susaan farley in the comment below: your comment actually made me cry when you said that your mother might have had to sell her wedding rings for you children to have lighted Christmas tree in the morning. Now that is true love. My Father's parents (my grans) also would set up the tree on Christmas Eve for the morning unveiling the thought was that SAint Nic brought tree. Meanwhile it was his older brothers and sisters who had the task of putting all up!!!

Video Minute 10:51, regarding the transportation of the food from the kitchen to the dinning table; Have you read the house records? Probably they had some solution for this. Old Mansions had buffet tables, or they were called side-boards. They would have had ways of transporting the food and storing it on the sideboards to keep it the right temperature. I encourage you to do some more research on the subject because I think you are wrong about this.

She calls him Florist Simon Leisit at video minute 4:25. Simon then claims that he is not allowed to use Mistletoe because it is a parasite.

@heidimiller5475 Месяц назад

12:45, Probably not; the most likely story is, the Jews that had been in slavery in Egypt had been eating their father Jacob Israel's sheep. So all the meat in the mincemeat, and all the other meat based recipes, would be from that side of the family's recipe books.

Ben's dance shoes that I bought him - where did they go? Where are my blue fingerless-mitts that I knitted myself? My tan, fleece lined winter gloves? My Mario Batolli cutting boards that you broke? Whom is a parasite? You stole my social security widow's benefits for nine years. Where did all my money go? Then you stole a million dollar cash settlement the City of Seattle awarded me. Then you stole another seventy five thousand dollars out of my bank savings account. Then you smashed my apartment with a metal rod and forced me to pay you forteen thousand dollars for the damage that you did. Whom is a parasite? Mistletoe is not a parasite, you are.

@heidimiller5475 Месяц назад

Mistletoe is not parasitic nor is it naughty. You have imitated or manipulated this scene to strike fear in our hearts. I have been studying Christmas for forty five years. Mistletoe is in all the art, all the Christmas cards, on the trees, in the architecture, in the written records of Christmas history and depicted in architecture. You are just looking for an excuse to upset the viewers.

Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. Christians believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God. We believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins. We believe that he has redeemed us from an eternal death in hell through this sacrifice. We decorate our houses for Christmas, with boughs of greenery. Why would you try to convince us that our old traditions are naughty and parasitic unless you had some crime planned for us?
