Travel back in time to Christmas 1895 with Victoria Yule as your hostess.

Victoria Yule will welcome you into her parlor, complete with an antique chair, table and props, and share her plans for the upcoming Christmas festivities. Learn the history of many Christmas traditions from stories passed down to her from “Grandmama and Grandpapa.” She’ll read Dickens, display toys and handmade gifts her family will be exchanging around the Christmas tree, and in her clear soprano, sing carols of the season. Travel back in time to Christmas 1895 with this fun, creative and engaging performance.

For more than 10 years, Anne Barrett has been entertaining and educating audiences with her lectures and performances at dozens of libraries, historical societies, museums, and other civic and social groups throughout New England. She is Vice President of the Topsfield Historical Society, and was named Storyteller of the Year by the North of Boston Convention and Visitors Bureau in 2006.
