Many Christmas traditions we have in Britain today came from the Victorian Period :
The Christmas Tree is thought to have been brought to Britain from Germany by Prince Albert in 1841 , and was soon adopted by most homes
The Christmas card dates back to 1843 , When Henry Cole asked an artist to design one for him (They were expensive so many children made their own)
Serving turkey as the main meal came from the Victorians, who also enjoyed singing carols
Dickens enjoyed spending Christmas with his family - They would eat well , play games and enjoy each other's company
The novella is said to help broadcast the message of the tradition of Christmas - Dickens believed it should be a time of peace and goodwill to everyone , no matter their social status
