Christmas in the 18th century was not the holiday we know these days. Of course, the religious celebration of the holiday of the Nativity of Christ was the same, but gifts, know as étrennes, were not exchanged until the 1st of January.
Yet people liked to take advantage of the pleasures of the season. Marie-Antoinette, as a young Queen, took this opportunity to enjoy the sleigh rides she had known as a child in Vienna.
