The Victorian Christmas event is in full swing now with the Museum all decked out and busy with visitors. Mother is taking her ease in the parlor sipping fruit punch while being entertained on the pianola, dad is in the kitchen with the kids making toast the old fashioned way, while granddad and grandma are perusing the Christmas market in the barn. Other families are taking a horse drawn wagon ride around the farm or buzzing the old phones in the telephone hut. The highlight for the children, of course, is a visit with Father Christmas and for the grown ups perhaps a treat of home-made cakes in the Tea Room. Everyone enjoys a bit of historical escapism invoked by the special atmosphere at the MKM at this time of year.
