Image by Winslow Homer entitled "The Christmas-Tree." Harper's Weekly, December 25, 1858.
The tradition of decorating a Christmas tree for the delight and amusement of young and old dates back to 16th century Germany. Still many of us find ourselves asking, “How should I trim my tree this year?” or "How should I decorate my home for the holidays?" I thought it might be fun to share some of the ways our Victorians friends decorated their Christmas trees and homes. Who knows? Maybe some of us will decide to have a Victorian Christmas theme this year.
Of course, I hope others will share their ideas as well. We have a lot of talented folks on CWT who make holiday crafts and decorations. This is your chance to show off your handiwork my friends and give the rest of us some ideas!
