*VIRTUAL Via Zoom!* Christmas in the Colonies with the Grounded Goodwife

6:30 PM - 7:30 PM

Event Details

Due to unforeseen technology issues, the program scheduled for tonight has been cancelled.
Join Ehris and Velya of the Grounded Goodwife for a Holiday Event!

Christmas in the colonies was, for the most part, just another day. Celebrating Christmas was outlawed in most of New England. Puritans and Protestants detested the entire celebration, and likened it to "pagan rituals."

But, some colonists enjoyed an array of festivities, such as singing carols, decorating their homes, and hosting feasts.

Join Velya and Ehris for a night of festivities, including:
  • A DIY apple-cinnamon sugar scrub (see bottom of description for materials-patrons will be responsible for purchasing if you'd like to follow along. Please note this is NOT required.)
  • Apple peel throwing (to determine your spouse)
  • Apple seed prophecies
  • A group wassail carol
