  • Season's Greetings
    Cumbria Local History Federation Bulletin 58 Winter 2011-12 www.cumbrialocalhistory.org.uk Season’s Greetings First of all may I wish you all a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year from the CLHF committee, and me. I feel I should add that the committee members still hope that someone will volunteer to help as the Secretary, not too arduous a task as Valerie Halsall shoulders all the work of dealing with memberships, just a little light minute-taking and agenda sorting. All offers very kindly received and we're such a friendly bunch to join – so come on! Give it a try! Contact any committee member for more info and we'll promise not to coerce you into anything. A few seasonally-inspired thoughts are presented for your consideration: I recently gave a talk on Local Christmas Past to Workington LH Society – and many thanks for your very warm welcome! – looking at aspects of Christmas presented through newspapers, how Christmas celebrations have been reported and how they have changed over the years. Not least noticeable is that Christmas hardly featured in the newspapers until well into December, often well into Christmas week, unlike more recent times where the cards and tinsel can be found displayed before the Hallowe'en bats and rats appear. I also find fascinating the very public displays of Christmas charity with the donors of coals or blankets, bread or even, occasionally, baccy, to the deserving poor named prominently and with the recipi- ents' gratitude firmly emphasised sometimes with cheers that we hope were spontaneous! The reports of festive occasions can some- times shed little rays of light on the social life of the time.
