Although the focus of the Washingtons' Christmas holiday was primarily religious, it was still a time for festivities and merriment with family and friends. Activities often included card games, music, and dancing. As it does still today, food also played an important role in the holiday’s celebration. Learn and participate in these Yuletide activities with members of Mount Vernon's Historic Trades team.
