Program Description

Event Details

Come party like a Victorian! In the mid-1800s, the celebration of Christmas began to be recognizable as the beloved crazy-quilt mix of traditions we enjoy today. But nowhere was it more so than on Long Island. Join Janet Emily Demarest, performer, storyteller author, as she brings the history of the holiday to life. She has gathered bits of history, oft-told stories and songs to warm your heart and enrich your understanding of our sometimes unusual, sometimes spectacularly peculiar traditions. Bring the whole family to this interactive musical program. All welcome!
