Elsie's Christmas Party helps you celebrate Christmas today in the spirit of yesterday. From decorating a pretty table and tree to parlor games and recipes, this book is a step-by-step guide to creating your own old-fashioned Christmas celebration.
You'll learn what Christmas was like in the nineteenth century when Elsie Dinsmore was growing up. You'll also learn about Victorian Christmas customs and how they developed into some of our most treasured modern traditions. And you'll learn how to plan a party that is perhaps a little more formal than the parties you usually attend.
It may take a bit of extra work, but an old-fashioned party can be a rewarding way to delight your friends and family and have a taste of what life was like in the past.
Elsie's Christmas Party is also the perfect companion to the Elsie Dinsmore: A Life of Faith book series. Let Elsie Dinsmore, one of the most beloved fictional heroines of all time, bring Victorian charm into your life this Christmas!
This beautiful hardback book includes an introduction to Elsie—if you don't already know her—and Martha Finley, who wrote the original Elsie books. Part one is about Christmas in Elsie's time.
In part two, let Elsie help you throw the party of the century (the 19th Century)! Learn how to plan your own Christmas party, including ideas about the following:
- how to decorate your party room
- how to choose your color theme
- how to make invitations
- how to treat your guests
Some recipes are also listed in the back, like Angle Rolls, Fudge Pie, miniature Orange Tea Muffins and Chocolate Snowballs! Also included are ideas for some fun games!
