Gift Giving: Winter Holiday Rituals
- New traditions were formed by borrowing existing rituals and traditional activities based on Dutch customs from New Amsterdam.
- A popular poem put forward by Clement Clarke Moore called The Night Before Christmas in 1823 first mentioned the tradition of children receiving presents on Christmas.
- As formal public education for young adults had yet to emerge, most young Americans from the emerging middle class in the city were encouraged to celebrate at home, something which aligned with the elite’s interests to ‘domesticate’ the Christmas season.
