Did you know that nearly every secular tradition that we associate with the holidays came from the Victorian era? Join us to hear from guest speaker George Schroeder, executive director of the Hearthstone Museum in Appleton, to learn how the Victorians truly invented Christmas - from everything including beloved food and decorations, to our image of Santa Claus himself!
