Many people today wish to experience or recreate an early Christmas. They crave those bygone days of a simpler life, a more memorable time, an old-fashioned Christmas in the Twin Cities. We will look at the celebration of Christmas in the metropolitan area from 1850 to 1940. The comparing of old traditions, decorations, gifts and even the preparation of the Christmas dinner, with those of today, may surprise you. You will learn how to capture an old fashioned Twin Cities Christmas and recreate it for yourself. One-hour slide presentation.
