Christmas in Early California and the East Coast Contrast
A 1820 San Diego mission Christmas is described by Albert Robinson as a religious festival with illuminations, mass, and a theatrical procession led by actors including a hermit and Bartolo. The piece contrasts this with the festive, turkey-filled celebrations in New England and the Mid-Atlantic, noting the stark cultural differences between coasts. The excerpt cites archival notes from 1981 Western Newspaper Union.
