From Christmas cards to decorated trees and Christmas crackers, many of the best-known Christmas traditions are products of the Victorian era. The East Hampton Historical Society invites the community to discover the origins of many of today’s holiday customs, brought to life in “Victorian Christmas” at the Thomas & Mary Nimmo Moran Studio on Main Street in East Hampton Village.

Victorian Christmas at Moran Studio is offered Wednesdays through Sundays, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., through December 23. Tickets are $5, and preregistration is preferred.

“The Victorians transformed the idea of Christmas so that it became centered around the family,” said Steve Long, executive director of the East Hampton Historical Society. “From our family to yours, please join us for our holiday happenings at the historic Moran Studio.”

Thomas & Mary Nimmo Moran Studio is at 229 Main Street, East Hampton Village. To purchase tickets, visit at www.easthamptonhistory.org.
