Early 1900s Christmas Music Recordings
http://www.oldchristmastreelights.com/music.htm
A sampling of favorite Christmas carols and songs. As recorded on Edison. Then, totally by fluke, in June, 2010, I found that another reader had copied most of George's recordings onto his web page in 2007. That web page went down soon after, but not before one of HIS readers archived his files to another site. You had better believe I moved quickly to retrieve George's files for this page. I was able to recover all but three and make them available here. 1912 version of O Holy Night. Electricity. It...

Editor's Notes about the "Original" 2008 Old Christmas Tree Lights Pages:. All of the links below link to materials that George Nelson had on his version of the site between 2006 and 2008, though they weren't all on the site at the same time - George was constantly moving things around, adding topics about things he liked, and removing topics that he didn't think related. As explained in our Restoring the Resources. However, this site is NOT public domain, and I would ask that you not copy and repost who...

Don't Try This At Home (Anymore) - Dangerous Decorations People Used To Use, from Family Christmas Online

Jump to other pages. Don't Try This At Home (Anymore) - Dangerous Decorations People Used To Use, from Family Christmas Online. At any rate, this may seem a little macabre, but what's a trip down memory lane without an occasional recollection of some risk we blissfully ignored and - by the grace of God - survived? And up until about 1940, most rooms had only one electrical outlet (or at the most, two). So the tree's lighting usually went into the same outlet as a radio, a floor lamp, and any other el...

Jump to other pages. Written by Paul D. Race for Family Christmas Online. Who Speaks for Christmas - from Family Christmas Online. Not all devout Christians have celebrated Christmas. As two examples, neither the early Christians nor the Puritans who settled in North America celebrated Christmas at all. Christmas has never been an exclusively "Christian" holiday. And a Christmas tree in Queen Victoria s mansion. To reset Christmas to the family-oriented holiday we celebrate today. Sadly, that doesn t kee...
