Merriment & Memories: How we Decorated, Celebrated, and Made Moments to Remember

It’s time to deck the halls, string the lights, and prepare the feasts. Soon, houses and whole streets will be aglow with white and colored-lights. Trees will be brought inside and decorated while wrapped presents are placed beneath them. As you sit by a fire or get cozy with some hot chocolate and warm fuzzy socks, do you reminisce about the celebrations or traditions of years past? Join us as we take a look back at the festivities and events over the last century that have brought us together as a community during this special holiday season.
This talk was originally presented by Jillian Mulder on a ZOOM hosted by the Chapman Museum on Wednesday, December 14 as part of our ongoing series, Conversations with the Past.
