Diane Gaston | A Regency Christmas

As an author of Regency Historicals, I love to imagine myself in Regency
England. At this time of year that means imagining a Regency Christmas.

The Regency (1810 – 1820) was the time period of the Napoleonic War, of
literary greats such as Jane Austen and Lord Byron. Many familiar Christmas
traditions--decorating Christmas trees, singing Silent Night, waiting for Santa
Claus--did not emerge until the later Victorian times, but a Regency Christmas
did have other traditions still celebrated today.
