Though many things likely happened on Christmas in 1813, here is one example;
In 1813, John Cooper of the 7th Royal Fusiliers recounted the following while serving in the Peninsular War:
Here for the first time in the Peninsula we kept Christmas. Every man contributed some money, meat or wine. A sheep or two were bought and killed. Pies and puddings were baked, etc. Plates, knives and forks, were not plentiful, yet we managed to diminish the stock of eatables in quick time. For desert we had plenty of apples; and for a finish, two or three bandsmen played merry tunes, while many warmed their toes by dancing jigs and reels.
