Step back in time with me this Christmas and experience the festive season as though it were 1940's wartime Britain, a period of time stored in our collective memory! In this video, we’ll explore how British civilians prepared for the festive season during wartime, from homemade decorations, gift-giving, to rationing and very creative cooking!
Join me as I explore how British housewives balanced frugality with festive cheer during the Second World War whilst battling loneliness and creating memorable moments despite the challenges they faced. Learn how to craft simple, yet beautiful decorations, make traditional Christmas dishes with limited ingredients, and embrace the cosy, vintage charm of a wartime Christmas.
If you're a fan of history, vintage home life, or just want to try something new this Christmas, then this video is for you. Let’s make this Christmas just as heartfelt and meaningful as it was in the 1940's!
