Many Christmas traditions and images of 'old fashioned' holidays are based on Victorian celebrations. Going back just a little further, to the beginning of the 19th century, the holiday Jane Austen knew would have looked distinctly odd to modern sensibilities. How odd? Families rarely decorated Christmas trees. Festivities centered on socializing instead of gift-giving. Festivities focused on adults, with children largely consigned to the nursery. Holiday events, including balls, parties, dinners, and even weddings celebrations, started a week before Advent and extended all the way through to Twelfth Night in January. Take a step into history with Maria Grace as she explores the traditions, celebrations, games and foods that made up Christmastide in Jane Austen's era. Packed with information and rich with detail from period authors, Maria Grace transports the reader to a longed-for old fashioned Christmas. Non-fiction No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

Unfortunately, the last third of the book is solely made up of recipes that are read out aloud. If I had had a paper book, I would have browsed them to see if there was anything interesting, but listening to them for such a long time was simply not something I was prepared to do, so I fast forwarded to the end. Thus, this book might be much better suited to be a paper book than an audiobook, even more so because most of the traditions are listed in short chapters without a lot of context, making it a bit strenuous to listen to it for a longer period of time.
