The wondrous nineteenth century brought us many everyday luxuries that we still enjoy today, including electricity, telephones, photography, movies, and flush toilets. Many more inventions, such as pasteurization, sewing machines, underground trains, bicycles, and X-rays also came into being. But the Victorian era also ushered in many of the favorite Christmas traditions we still hold dear. From the first indoor Christmas trees and the look of Father Christmas to giving presents and sending Christmas cards, the time of Queen Victoria's reign was one of festivities and a growing leisure class. Now you, too, can get into the Christmas spirit and partake in these modern-day leisurely pastimes with this activity book's: Exquisitely ornate holiday-themed stickers from the past. Use them to decorate envelopes, gift wrap, letters, scrapbooks, photo albums, or the whimsical Victorian Christmas crafts you can create from this book. On the backs of the sticker pages are merry quotations from notable Victorians and popular Christmas carols of the time. Christmas cards and easy-to-assemble envelopes. The first Christmas card was sent in 1843 with designs we'd find quite curious today. Create your own by filling in your name and message, coloring in the designs, and adding stickers. Enchanting coloring pages, featuring line-drawn images of Christmas trees, angels, Father Christmas, and snowy scenes. Each full-page design has a meditative pattern on the back that you can color in any way you like, regardless of your artistic abilities. You can even adorn your finished works of art with the stickers. Words games and activities, such as mazes, connect-the-dots, trivia, matching, shadow puppets, and more!
