Spirit of Christmas Past: 4 Centuries of Christmas in New England

Friday, Dec 5 10:30a to 11:30a

Christmas was outlawed in the 17th c. but by the beginning of the 21st c. many customs we take for granted as part of the current celebrations are actually a product of more recent history. Ken Turino, of Historic New England, looks at how Christmas was transformed from a rowdy celebration to a family centered event. Topics discussed are how the Christmas tree became popular, halls were decked, and Santa Clause came to town. Funded by the Friends, free & open to the public.
