Victorian Christmas

Continuing the Victorian tradition of a Ghostly, Gothic Christmas, a darker, interpretation of the holiday, older, more fundamental: winter, death, rebirth. There’s no need to give up spooky after Halloween.

    I will be sending handmade Victorian Christmas cards to my group members tomorrow. 

  • Sabrina S

    I am looking forward to receive your Christmas card, Maxima. I did one for you today, will post it Wednesday, I think. Hopefully it will make it to you before Christmas. 

  • Sabrina S

    By the way, is the group image work from you? It looks so cool!

  • Maxima Strange

    Look forward to your card! 

  • Maxima Strange

    PS, no I didn’t do the art for the group image. I found it on the Internet!

  • Sabrina S

    Today your Victorian Christmas mail arrived, Maxima! Thank you so much for it! I'll not post a photo yet as I  don't want to spoil it for the others in case it didn't arrive in the UK yet, for example. 

  • Maxima Strange

    Oh, wonderful! So glad it arrived! Thanks for letting me know!

  • Maxima Strange

    Merry Christmas to all. Have a very Victorian Christmas.

    Gonna assume everyone received their Victorian Christmas card. So I’m posting an image for posterity.

    Received this lovely Victorian-inspired card from Sabrina Schmider. A lovely drawing of a dead bird, thought to bring good luck by Victorians, and a nice decorated envelope and nice note inside. Thank you, Sabrina!
