by Darcy Fair, folklorist

Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, the Winter Solstice or Kwanzaa, many long-standing holiday traditions are rooted in family and community folklore. Investigate the origins and changing character of some of these traditions with folklorist Darcy Fair. Participants will examine the folk process at work in holiday food traditions, decorations, family gatherings and other activities.
