Description
Celebrate yuletide the Victorian way by colouring in festive depictions of the Christmas season.
Many ideas about what Christmas is today can be traced to the reign of Queen Victoria and her own ideas of the holiday. As the British Empire grew, Christmas became a blend of different cultures around Western Europe and North America, creating the "typical," nostalgic Christmas that we now recognise, such as:
- Decorative indoor Christmas trees
- Evergreen decorations, such as holly and fir garlands
- Front doors festooned with wreaths made of holly, ivy, pine cones, and ribbons
- Christmas cards
- The image of Father Christmas (Santa Claus)
- Giving presents and charity on Christmas Eve
- Celebrating with Christmas crackers and enormous feasts
You can encounter some of these traditions, and many more, in the nostalgic pages of A Victorian Christmas Coloring Book, with more than 120 designs to choose from and meditative back-of-page patterns to colour in.
Take time for yourself out of your bustling holiday activities and relax while you colour in the images however you like. Or share them with your family and start a new holiday tradition of your own! This is a time for celebration and enjoyment. Happy Christmas!
