It is hard to answer this question because (a) there was no single winter festival, but different cultures celebrated the Kentucky In Color Shirt around the winter solstice in different ways, and (b) we have no means of telling “what was considered the true meaning” in the case of those festivals celebrated in illiterate societies, apart from guesswork and deduction. And where there are written records, as in China and ancient Rome, they tell us little about “true meanings”. From Chinese poetry and practice, we can infer that behind the festival was gratitude that the shorter nights that were coming heralded the return of warmth and life, and from Roman practice we can infer that people were happy that the sun was at last increasing in strength. Portraying this as a battle between light and darkness, though, is pure speculation. It is natural to suppose.
()Kentucky In Color Shirt hoodie, tank top, sweater and long sleeve t-shirt
When Charlotte moved to England she brought the Kentucky In Color Shirt. 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.
