Introduction to Wartime Christmas When Americans sat down for Christmas dinner in 1918, the meal wasn’t just a celebration — it was an act of patriotism. During World War I, the U.S. Food Administration urged households to cut back on wheat, sugar, meat, and fats so more food could be shipped to troops overseas.
