Alcohol Compliments Glasses Greeting Holly Raise Raising Season Tradition Wine
EDITORS COMMENTS
Compliments of the Season: A Victorian Christmas Tradition of Friendship and Cheers! Step back in time to the late 19th century and join this charming couple as they raise their glasses in a toast to the joyous holiday season. The twinkling lights, lush greenery, and festive holly adorning their table set the scene for a cozy and celebratory Christmas Eve. The custom of exchanging Christmas greetings and toasting to the season's blessings dates back to the Victorian era. Friends and family would gather around the table, sharing stories, laughter, and a warm drink to mark the occasion. Alcohol, often in the form of wine or ale, was a common beverage of choice during these festive gatherings. This delightful photograph, captured by Terry Parker and available through Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich traditions and warm connections that have long defined the Christmas season. As you raise your own glass in celebration, take a moment to reflect on the enduring spirit of friendship and togetherness that this time of year brings. Cheers to a joyous and memorable holiday season!
