The Monmouth County Library System is bringing back one of their most popular programs which is all about Colonial and Victorian Christmas Customs.
Judith Krall-Russo will be discussing all of the holiday traditions on Friday, Nov. 30 at 2 p.m. at Monmouth County Library Headquarters in Manalapan Township.
Krall-Russo will talk about the similarities and differences between the customs of a Colonial Christmas and a Victorian Christmas. Some common Christmas rituals including caroling and making a gingerbread house have been passed on from earlier times. Christmas decorations such as holly and mistletoe are also common ornamentations from the past.
Krall-Russo is also a lover of foods and she will talk about the types of foods that were prepared during traditional Colonial and Victorian Christmas meals.
