Description
In 1659, the General Court of Massachusetts Bay Colony banned Christmas celebrations, deeming them excessive and unbiblical. Although this law was repealed in 1681, Christmas Day did not become a state holiday until 1856. In "Christmas Traditions in Boston," Anthony Sammarco explores the evolution of Christmas in Boston from its settlement in 1630. By the mid-19th century, German immigrant Charles Follen introduced the Christmas tree, followed by Louis Prang's colorful Christmas cards, the first in Boston. Over the next century, Boston embraced caroling and hand bell ringing on Beacon Hill, Nativity scenes on Boston Common, and festive displays in department stores, including the beloved Enchanted Village of Saint Nicholas at Jordan Marsh. After enjoying the seasonal sights and Santa, what could be better than a hot fudge sundae at Bailey's? This book revisits the cherished memories of how Bostonians celebrated the holiday season.
