Traditions of Christmas
As seen through the eyes of children, Christmas is nothing short of magical, with dreams of candy canes and reindeer paws and gifts mysteriously left beneath a bauble-laden tree. But for adults, time lends a deeper resonance to the day, when layers of sweet memories from Yuletides past are laced with the joy of family togetherness and a sacred reverence for the true meaning of the celebration. With that sentiment in mind, the editors of Victoria magazine present a special keepsake volume, Traditions of Christmas, brimming with page upon page of seasonal inspiration. Heralding the season with jubilance, we offer ideas for creating a festive welcome to your home, present a breathtaking cavalcade of the prettiest evergreen, and allow glimpses into grand old residences where holiday traditions of the past meet new ones in the making. Whether your holiday comes wrapped up in traditional hues of red and green or glitters with sophisticated shades of silver and gold, one thing is certain: Christmas is truly the most wonderful time of the year.
