Who doesn’t love Santa Claus? Although Santa’s origins can be traced to a religious figure (Saint Nicholas) in Christian lore, over the years Santa Claus has morphed into a universally recognized symbol of kindness, charity, compassion and joy.
In this very unique and utterly fascinating multimedia presentation, Barry Bradshaw will trace how Santa has evolved over the centuries. He’ll also give us a look at how books, movies, advertising and music have shaped, changed, and recreated Santa into the figure we recognize today. Only a Grinch or a Scrooge would not like this wonderful presentation!
