Résumé
Delaware at Christmas uncovers the rich and surprising ways Delawareans have celebrated the holiday season across four centuries. From colonial-era customs brought by Swedish, Dutch, and English settlers to modern multicultural observances, this book blends history, folklore, and festive tradition into a vivid portrait of Christmas in the First State. Readers will discover the origins of outdoor Christmas decorations, the rise of the state's holly wreath industry, and the stories behind local favorites like eggnog, wassail, and plum pudding.
The book shines a light on forgotten practices - from mumming parades and house tours to the music of handbell choirs and the enduring power of church lovefeasts. Delaware at Christmas also gives voice to the holiday experiences of Black Delawareans during the antebellum period, alongside the customs brought by Irish, Italian, Polish, and Hispanic communities who shaped the state's evolving identity.
Whether exploring 19th-century sleigh bells, Victorian Christmas cards, or the curious history of IBM punch card wreaths, Dave Tabler captures Delaware's holiday spirit with meticulous research and a storyteller's eye. Perfect for history lovers, regional readers, and anyone drawn to the enduring magic of Christmas traditions.
