Description: Colonial Williamsburg Christmas: Celebrating Classic Traditions and the Spirit of the Holiday (2021 Hardback, New) “Christmas is come, hang on the pot,Let spits turn round, and ovens be hot;Beef, pork, and poultry, now provide,To feast thy neighbors at this tide;Then wash all down with good wine and beer,And so with mirth conclude the YEAR.”...So wrote an anonymous poet in the 1765 edition of the Virginia Almanack, published in Williamsburg. Drawing on eighteenth-century traditions, Colonial Williamsburg has become famous for its celebrations of the Christmas season. In Colonial Williamsburg’s Historic Area—and in the pages of this lavishly illustrated book—you’ll find wreaths and roping crafted from greenery, fruit, and other natural materials; boards groaning under the weight of holiday fare and feasts; cressets warming the streets and candles flickering in the windows of the town's homes and taverns; and fireworks lighting up the town. In colonial times and today, Christmas in Williamsburg is not a day but a season, and one this book lets you experience throughout the year.
