I didn't know there was a REAL "War on Christmas" here back then. Thanks to the Germans and Albert, then! Another thing that gives us great joy is British TV, and the first season of the ITV series "Victoria" was a lot of fun with a great portrayal of Albert by Tom Hughes. I don't recall any Christmas celebrations or mentions but will watch for them in the second season, which is out soon.
