<p>Celebrate yuletide the Victorian way by coloring in festive depictions of the</p><p>Christmas season.</p><p>Many ideas about what Christmas is today can be traced to the reign of Queen Victoria</p><p>and her own ideas of the holiday. As the British Empire grew, Christmas became a</p><p>blend of different cultures around Western Europe and North America, creating the</p><p>“typical,” nostalgic Christmas that we now recognize, such as:</p><p>1. Decorative indoor Christmas trees</p><p>2. Evergreen decorations, such as holly and fir garlands</p><p>3. Front doors festooned with wreaths made of holly, ivy, pine cones, and ribbons</p><p>4. Christmas cards</p><p>5. The image of Father Christmas (Santa Claus)</p><p>6. Giving presents and charity on Christmas Eve</p><p>7. Celebrating with Christmas crackers and enormous feasts</p><p>You can encounter some of these traditions, and many more, in the nostalgic pages of</p><p>A Victorian Christmas Coloring Book, with more than 120 designs to choose from</p><p>and meditative back-of-page patterns to color in.</p><p>Take time for yourself out of your bustling holiday activities and relax while you color in</p><p>the images however you like.
