I've finally gotten enough projects and chores done to where I can start to enjoy some of the other aspects of 1800's life like Hollidays! Christmas is one of the most wonderful holidays and although I'm alone that doesn't mean I can't participate in the festive traditions. While researching for this video I was really excited to learn how many edible Christmas tree ornaments where made in the 1800's. I didn't have time but in addition to the edible ornaments I made in this video they also made candied fruit where they'd suck out all the moisture with sugar. Also it was really fun to use real candles on the tree, I used modern birthday candles so they went out pretty fast but I really enjoyed it and I'm glad I didn't burn the place down!
