Gingerbread

Gingerbread is believed to originate in the Victorian era, where it was used to make Christmas tree decorations.

 

 

Although people gave holiday gifts prior to the Victorian era, the gift-giving was usually centered around the New Year celebration. The Victorians popularized the tradition of giving Christmas gifts.
