With only the holiday itself to identify it, this picture speaks to Christmas as a whole rather than to one particular place or event. In the nineteenth century, illustrated magazines, greeting cards and books spread images of family gatherings, decorated evergreens and gift giving well beyond church circles. Many of those traditions, including the decorated tree and the exchange of cards, were popularized in that period and remain recognizable today.
