Christmas in the 18th Century
The celebration of the Christmas season in the southern colonies consisted of parties, hunts, visiting, feasts and church services. Christmas decorations generally consisted of holly and ivy strung throughout the house, with a sprig of mistletoe prominently displayed. A great effort was made to decorate the churches with laurel, holly, and other garlands.

The traditional feast varied from household to household (depending on how wealthy the family was) but generally, consisted of wines, punches, mincemeat pies, and various other treats. The season was considered a grown-up celebration.

Children are always welcome!
