Style Diary: A Christmas Carol!

The Ohio Historical Society opened their Ohio Village for a storybook evening straight out of Charles Dicken's A Christmas Carol. Mr. Anachronistic Style and I bundled up to enjoy our first Christmas-themed moments of the season. It officially feels like the Holidays!


There were real carolers! You'd have random encounters while wandering the village and they'd even take requests!


The post office was offering reproductions of the first Christmas Cards. Apparently the first cards focused on themes of charity and giving and were very secular.


Quick shot while in line for cookies in the candy store. We never got cookies since we carry plastic like non-Victorians.


Real chestnuts roasting over a real open fire!


Inside the dress shop you could try on Victorian fashions of the period, I was too bundled up to try them on though. You can see a little girl getting dressed in the mirror behind me.


Pretty dress illustrations and dress making supplies on the counter.
