Abstract:
Christmas traditions of the past in Greenville included dances, balls and hops, late suppers, and jousting tournaments. Often on Christmas Eve, people would be out with firecrackers, tinhorns and drums, making noise and celebrating throughout the night. As part of a Christmas-time feast, a local table might include ham, barbecue, sausage, turkey, oysters, biscuits, oranges, apples, ice cream, eggnog and syllabub. Syllabub is a Southern drink, often served at Christmas gatherings, that was made of whipping cream and scuppernong wine.
