SUMMARY:Holiday Traditions in Boston: Holiday Party\, Presentation & Toy Drive
DESCRIPTION:In 1659\, the General Court of Massachusetts Bay Colony banned by law the celebration of Christmas as it was deemed to be a time of seasonal excess with no Biblical authority. Though repealed in 1681\, it would not be until 1856 that Christmas Day became a state holiday in Massachusetts. \nIn his book on Christmas Traditions in Boston\, Anthony Sammarco outlines the celebration (or lack thereof) of Christmas in the first two centuries after the city was settled in 1630. By the mid-19th century a German immigrant named Charles Follen introduced the Christmas tree to Boston\, and shortly thereafter Louis Prang introduced his colorful Christmas cards\, the first in Boston. Learn more about new and emerging Christmas traditions over the years. \nSpeaker: Anthony Sammarco\, Historian & Author\nThursday\, December 4 at 7:00 p.m.\nLocation: 10 Governors Avenue
