19th Century Christmas

Lots of fun out at Ft. Nisqually, WA this weekend as Christmas 1855 was portrayed.  There was a Yule Log to haul in (courtesy of 50 young visitors), carols to sing, decorations to make, mincemeat pie with Cumberland rum butter to sample, a flaming Christmas pudding to exclaim over, presents to share, parlour games and harps to enjoy, a new exhibit of Letitia Huggins to admire, and most special of all, the joy of having a young couple of visitors surprise us by getting engaged in the Factor's House under the kissing ball.

Happy Christmas all!
