In a time before Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, before Santa Claus wore red, before the widespread popularity of the Christmas Tree, and before department stores or the “Black Friday” shopping mayhem, how did colonists celebrate their religious holidays? Did the war change how people celebrated? What would we recognize? What would be foreign to us? This session will explore holiday events, traditions, and stories during the Revolution.
Featuring scholar and storyteller Tim Lowry.
