Department 56 - A Victorian Christmas - A CAROLING WE SHALL GO

Description: DEPARTMENT 56 A VICTORIAN CHRISTMAS DICKENS' VILLAGE SERIES A CAROLING WE SHALL GO Victorians popularized the tradition of caroling in the 1880's. In those days, groups of carolers went from house to house singing songs and, for a small sum, offered a welcome drink from the wassail bowl. The word "carol" comes from the French and means "ring" because carolers danced in a ring as they sang. Heritage Village Collection accessories enhance the unique charm of the lighted pieces in any display. Over the years improved design, sculpting, and hand-painting techniques have resulted in pieces increasingly more detailed and colorful. Some of our best-loved holiday customs flourished in Victorian England and remail popular, even today. Victorians celebrated Christmas with enthusiasm and it was a holiday celebrated by the entire family. There was no such thing as too much work. A small fir tree was decorated with wax candles and exquisite little presents. From the kitchen, fragrances of mince pies, oyster patties and fresh bread mingled together. The dining room table was set with a towering centerpiece. English crackers waited to be pulled open with a pop after the sweets were passed. Carolers strolled the streets an bells rang out from the steeples.
