yeah because it snowed all the time and we'd never heard of
turkey,people were respectful, law abiding, and appreciated
what they got no matter how small, it was the thought that
mattered.
I'm not getting into social matters because we know all about
them.

I went to a Christmas fancy dress party a few years back, the the theme was Victorian Dress and it was held at a Victorian Museum. It was certainly a good party, so I could imagine Christmas in those days was much more about socialising and enjoying the mood rather than spending huge amounts on presents!

what a funny question! Now, my nan's 102 and even she's Edwardian so none of us know do we....?
I expect Christmas was nice for those who had money and were still able to believe in the whole manger, three wise men thing. Though those with money today still have a pretty good time.
I expect Christmas as a sweep's apprentice, or down the mine aged 10 waiting for your yearly orange, was not quite so good as sitting in a council house waiting for your nintendo wii.
So, on the whole, despite the fluffy christmas cards, I'd say Christmas is better now.

It depends on whether you want to go back to the days when people had fewer material things; when a chicken was a special treat and not a cheap mass produced food.
In wartime an orange was a luxury and home made presents were welcomed not scorned. I really feel sorry for those spoiled children who have everything in their lives except magic. ......play the violins.....

Traditionally for the well off yes it was. For the poorer it was worse. Christmas now could be so good if only people weren't so greedy and if they didnt ram Christmas adverts down our throats from September onwards xxx

I'd dearly love to get back to the Victorian christmasses as they were so traditional.

I'd say it's considered to be more traditional and it wasn't so commercial in the Victorian period.

Nope as the majority of people had to work long hours on that day the same as any other.
