In France of 1912, New Year’s Day was a more festive occasion than Christmas.
Children woke up on January 1st to find their stockings filled with gifts. Young adults spent the afternoon visiting relatives and friends.
In the evening, the family gathered together for a festive dinner to celebrate the first day of the New Year!
In Finding Sylvie, Sylvie Lewis moves to Paris in March1912. She missed the New Year’s celebration that year. But she may be there for the next one.
