Christmas wasn't celebrated like it is today. It wasn't until the publication of A Christmas Story by Dickens in the late 1800's that the idea of a tree and Christmas dinner formed. This did not happen overnight and people who didn't have the money to do the new traditions just didn't do them. Christmas traditionally for hundreds of years had been attending Christmas mass ( hence the word Christ Mass) and the Church of England still kept some of these type of services. People would have a dinner after church. The Christmas card began in 1880's as well. What we have today has evolved over time with the introduction of many things. Our red and white Santa comes to us from a Coke Cola ad in the 1920's.
