Candles and tinsel catch the eye first in this scene of women clustered around a decorated Christmas tree in a parlor. The tree stood at the center of the household's holiday celebrations, and by the late 19th century, decorating an evening tree had become a popular middle-class custom in America, drawing on German traditions that spread widely after the 1840s. Gatherings like this one show how the holiday moved indoors, with family and friends sharing the ritual of trimming the tree, exchanging small gifts and admiring the handmade ornaments.
