He Returns Victorious-1783
by
John Buxton
"The General and Madame came home on Christmas Eve, and such a racket the servants made, for they were glad of their coming!" That lively account of George and Martha Washington's post-war return to Mount Vernon was one of many contemporary sources John drew on to bring this stirring scene to life. John explains, "You'll notice there are no Christmas decorations as we think of them today. Holiday decorating did not become an established American tradition until the 19th century."
