Victorian Christmas: The Forgotten Traditions, Spooky Legends and Candlelit Streets of 1890

Step into the gaslit glow of Victorian Christmas 1890, where fog-wrapped cobblestones lead you through a December stranger than any you've known. Journey past candlelit windows adorned with holly, gather around ancient Yule logs burning with pagan fire, and settle into velvet chairs as ghost stories unfold by flickering flame. Discover forgotten traditions: wassailing apple orchards under winter stars, feasting on flaming puddings filled with fortune-telling charms, meeting Father Christmas in his many unsettling faces, and dancing through Twelfth Night's final misrule. This is Christmas balanced between wonder and dread, where every shadow holds watching spirits and every carol echoes with something older than memory. Dim the lights, let the modern world fade, and drift through a Victorian holiday that was darker, spookier, and infinitely more magical than anything we've kept. Sweet dreams await in the candlelit past.
