Christmas in Williamsburg

Christmas in Williamsburg: 300 Years of Family Traditions begins with the earliest Christmas recorded in America—John Smith’s with the Indians of Kecoughtan—then continues through the rowdy colonial celebrations for the Twelve Days of Christmas and into the Victorian era, when Santa and decorated trees and the things that make Christmas today first made an appearance. Recipes, craft ideas, and family activities to enhance the holidays make this both a history and a how-to volume.
