The celebration of Christmas dates back to Roman times. Several customs associated with modern Christmas celebrations are traced back to early pagan rituals, including Father Christmas in 7th century Europe and Kris Kringle who came to America in the late 18th century from Germany.

Antique Christmas collectibles include candy boxes, children's books, Christmas cards, button pins, and old decorations including hand-made paper mache' ornaments, German tree stands, lighted Christmas houses, to mention only a few of the offerings here at the Atlanta Antique Gallery.
