Brought to us by Cape May MAC (Museums, Arts, Culture)
Trees, cards, carols and the very image of Santa Claus himself- Christmas Traditions got their start from traditions begun in Victorian England during the reign of Queen Victoria. Learn how the traditions spread to America and how we've adapted them over time.
