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.

Primarily as Victorians made Christmas a family celebration in the form that we celebrate to this day. Secondly Charles Dickens "A Christmas Carol" is a universally known story, which was set in Victorian times which is why its used as imagery that everyone can relate to.

In Victorian times,christmas wasn't very good as it is today. Present were usually handmade and the most popular toys for girls were dolls and dolls houses, and for boys, it was toy soldiers.
