The History Of Santa Claus!
December 3 @ 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM
Come and learn the fascinating history of Santa Claus
Who doesn’t love Santa Claus? Even in countries like Japan, that don’t celebrate Christmas, the visage of Jolly old Santa is well known to the public.
Although Santa’s origins can be traced to a religious figure (Saint Nicholas) in Christian lore, Santa Claus has morphed into a universally recognized symbol of kindness, charity, compassion, and joy over the years.
In this unique and utterly fascinating multimedia presentation, we will trace how Santa has evolved over the centuries. We’ll 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!
