Event Details

Please join us on this date when our special guest will be Chuck Lewis. He is both an instructor and Director of Clinical Embalming at the Mid America College of Funeral Service and he has a Master's degree in American history from Missouri State University.

While we cherish our Christmas memories through the depiction of Christmas trees, ornaments, colored lights and Santa Claus, these images, like everything else, are subject to change through the constantly evolving aesthetics of style.

This program will be a historical retrospective of the American Christmas celebration, taking into account the contemporary impact on the development and evolution of established Christmas decorating styles prevalent in America throughout several decades over the past century.
