So this is Christmas?
Over Zoom
Dec 1, 2022 at 10am
Start off the Holiday season by exploring the origins of our modern celebrations. We will examine both the religious history and traditions along with the secular – and see that the two sides of Christmas have always existed in uneasy tension. We will explore why Christmas is in December. What is Yule? When are the 12 days of Christmas? Who was the Lord of Mis-rule? Where do Christmas trees, Christmas cards, and Christmas presents all come from? Come with questions about your favorite holiday traditions as we discover just what is Christmas, anyway?
