Have you heard about all of the different types of traditions that came about during the Victorian Era?
Not only were they holiday traditions that still occur today, like Christmas Trees, but the whole idea of mourning for someone's death. Whether it be a funeral, what to wear to grieve the loss of a best friend or cousin, or the creation of the whole funeral home business--it all came about during the Victorian Era. Join Anna and I as we talk about not just these traditions, but some of the incredibly bizarre ones, and how/why it died out.
