An Old Fashioned Victorian Christmas Dinner

Every year in our home we celebrate a Christmas dinner from a different country or era. In years past we have celebrated Christmas dinners from Norway, Germany and France. This year was Victorian Era England! We celebrated a week early this year with just our immediate little family. This way we can spend Christmas weekend visiting extended family and friends.

Now might be a great time to introduce my little family. My husband Max and I have been married for 2 and a half years, together for almost 7. We have a 7 month old son who is about to celebrate his first Christmas! We also have a small flock of backyard chickens and are looking to add more chicks this spring.

Here you can find the FULL menu of our Victorian Christmas dinner, I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
