Reflections on an                     Antebellum Christmas

The Lower Shore Performing Arts Company and the Costen House Museum are proud to present Reflections on an Antebellum Christmas.  A collection of stories and memories from personal journals and articles written during that time.

“For a nation torn by civil war, Christmas in the 1860’s was observed with conflicting emotions. Nineteenth-century Americans embraced Christmas with all the Victorian trappings that had moved the holiday from the private and religious realm to a public celebration. Christmas cards were in vogue, carol singing was common in public venues, and greenery festooned communities north and south. Christmas trees stood in places of honor in many homes, and a mirthful poem about the jolly old elf who delivered toys to well-behaved children captivated Americans on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line.”                                                   

                                       Dr. Isaac Costen
