Did you know it was a popular custom to tell ghost stories at Christmas? Historians claim this could go back to Pegan times and their gatherings of the winter solstice. More recently it was quite popular during the Victorian era. Queen Victoria loved a good ghost story and so it was quite the thing in all of 1800's England. This tradition didn't quite make it to the U.S., but instead ghost stories somehow transitioned to Halloween, which all began with the Druids. Anyway, in that vein, I made these dark Christmas pictures and frames. There are many vintage photos online with this theme. I am adding the tree I already posted and have decorated my booth at Country Creek Treasures in this theme.
