Christmas Past via Zoom

Christmas Past via Zoom Online

In America, since colonial days, we have celebrated Christmas with a feast, evergreens and fruit. The kissing ball was a common colonial festive decoration. Wide scale Christmas decorations were slow to start in England and North America where even in the mid-1800s, only a few American homes had Christmas trees. Franklin Pierce was the first president to have a Christmas tree in the White House, that was 1853.  Join John Cilio to hear the origin stories of our Christmas traditions.  Register to receive the Zoom link.
