When season’s greetings arrive by post, one wonders if it is the mailbox’s favorite time of year, too. Throughout many eras, the time-honored custom of sharing glad tidings by mail has marked the holiday season with particular joy. But it was not until the mid-nineteenth century that this correspondence took the shape of a Christmas card: thicker paper with a cheery illustration accompanied by a brief, generic greeting. Learn more about this time-honored tradition in our November/December issue. #victoriamagazine #christmascards #holidaycards #oldworldchristmas #classychristmas #vintagechristmas
Whether the holiday comes wrapped up in traditional hues of red and green or glitters with sophisticated shades of silver and gold, one thing is certain: Christmas truly is the most wonderful time of the year. With that sentiment in mind, the editors of Victoria magazine present their latest keepsake volume, Traditions of Christmas, brimming with page upon page of seasonal inspiration.

Flanked by cedar trees that were once part of a family-run Christmas tree farm, a long drive paves the way to a locale where heritage and tradition offer a backdrop for celebration not only during the holidays but also throughout the year.

Christened in honor of a mythical place in folklore where sailors and soldiers find rejuvenation for their spirits, the property rests upon expansive acreages owned by the family for seven generations.

The lavish affection of a grandparent is fully revealed at Yuletide, when gifts are exchanged, visits are lengthened, and special sweets are concocted in the kitchen—the heart of the home. In a small, preservation-minded rural community, Laura and Kent Tabor have created a special haven. Though hardly their first historic home, Laura Ann—as they have christened the dwelling—is a spectacular example of mid-nineteenth-century Southern architecture and style, decorated with period antiques and family treasures. At Christmas, its story shines a little brighter, illuminated by twinkling lights upon the bough.
