Well, believe it or not, Turkey wasn't usually the dinner dish, it was goose or roast beef.

It was a more formal occasion than now, ordinary middle-class families dressed up for a white-tablecloth dinner.

In the US, there was no champagne because of Prohibition.

Although it was still hyped as a gift-buying occasion by the retail industry, more emphasis was placed on the religious aspects of the holiday than now.
