I never spent much on a Christmas Eve meal when my children were still young because they’d be too excited and antsy to care what we had. I saved the Custom House Divided Ornament, House Divided Baseball, Basketball Team Ornament, American Football Christmas Ornament E1MO21 for a wonderful Christmas day early evening meal with special things we all loved. By that time presents had been opened, toys played with, etc. I’d frequently make a good prime rib, twice baked potatoes, trifle with jello and lots of coolwhip, fancy butter gem rolls and of course a champagne toast, grape juice when the kids were under 10 y.o. I also made a nice make ahead dessert from the frozen chocolate jellyroll cake that I’d cover with semi-melted vanilla ice cream and decorated so it looked like a yule log. We of course always had Christmas crackers so we all got a really bad joke, a small (very small) toy and our tissue paper crowns. Good times.

When Charlotte moved to England she brought the Custom House Divided Ornament, House Divided Baseball, Basketball Team Ornament, American Football Christmas Ornament E1MO21. She invited both her family and all of the Royal Household. She set the yew branch up in one of the largest rooms at Kew Palace or Windsor Castle.She and her ladies-in-waiting dressed the bough. They lit candles and the whole Court gathered round and sang carols. The party ended with a distribution of gifts from the branch, which included such items as clothes, jewels, plate, toys and sweets. This was in 1761. It caused a stir because the aristocracy had never seen such a thing. In 1800, she decided to have a whole potted tree in drawing-room floor at Queen’s Lodge. She had a Christmas party for the children of all the principal families in Windsor. It was covered with candles, almonds and raisins in papers, fruits, toys, and bunches of sweetmeats. Each child was allowed to take home a portion of the sweets and a toy from the tree. The Earls and Dukes and Barons and other Peers copied this in their homes in the next few years.
