From Humbug to Holly Jolly: How the Victorians Gave Us Christmas - GP In-Person
Contrary to common belief, Christmas is a fairly young holiday, so how did we go from almost no festivities to Mariah Carey's Christmas album? This presentation will discuss the origins of Santa, Christmas Trees, gift giving, and many other popular Christmas festivities we enjoy today, and it will examine the massive cultural shift that took place with Victoria, Albert, and Charles Dickens - who, together, essentially invented "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year."
