who came as usual to spend the Christmas at Longbourn Written by Stephanie (5/3/2010 3:27 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, I can well understand..., penned by Cheryl

I COULD say that the Christmas visit was the established family tradition, but that does not really answer your question: it just refers it to why was the tradition established that way? My only guess was that Christmas was apparently less about children back then, which meant more family visiting among adults.
