In this episode, we'll explore the evolution of Christmas after the Restoration, into the Victorian Era. We'll go in-depth on the influence of Charles Dickens on Christmas, as well as the role of literature in shaping the holiday, as well as the export of Christmas to the New World. We'll also examine contemporary Christmas Carols, the birth of the Christmas Tree as a centerpiece of Christmas traditions, and the invention of the Christmas Card.
