Christmas in America from the 1940s through the 1960s meant aluminum trees, department store Santas and TV specials. Every kid wanted an Easy Bake Oven, a G.I. Joe or a Slinky. Look back at this optimistic era in a fun illustrated lecture, using photos, ads, greeting cards and catalogs to explore why this era was a turning point for how we celebrate the holidays.
In person event. Doors open at 1pm so you can enjoy live piano music performed by Ellie Lee during social hour. Leslie’s presentation starts at 2pm and will last about 45 minutes with time for Q&A afterward.
