What is Breaking up Christmas? This old Christmas party tradition - TopicsExpress



          

What is Breaking up Christmas? This old Christmas party tradition originated in the 1920s and comes from the areas of Northwest North Carolina in Surry County and nearby Southwest Virginia. Before television and electricity, people would gather for the twelve days between Christmas and January 6 for socializing, food, dancing, and old-time string music. The event moved from house to house and would go on past midnight. This broke up Christmas into many days of joy. Enjoy this video of the song, Breaking Up Christmas. This information was shared in a newsletter by our friends at the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area.
