After Christmas Dinner
|
With Christmas dinner over the Victorian father would bring out the crackers, this was a signal for the fun and games to begin. The Victorian family was never at a loss for things to do after dinner. There were songs to sing, recitations to endure and games to play. |
|
A popular game was "Snapdragon". A shallow bowl filled with spirit and currants was put on a table and the spirit set alight. The players had to try and snatch the currants out of the flames and put them into their mouths.
