An Underhill Historical Society Talk with Prof. Stephen Nissenbaum
Date: Sunday December 17, 2023 at 1:30pm to 3:pm
Professor Stephan Nissenbaum will give a talk on the role of Christmas in America, and he will begin with the arrival of the Pilgrims. Why is Christmas celebrated on December 25th and why was it first celebrated? How, for so many people, did Christmas later come to replace Easter as the central holiday of the Christian year? These are among the questions to be raised in a discussion of the shifting history of America’s most important holiday.
Stephen Nissenbaum taught U.S. history at UMass/Amherst before retiring to Underhill 20 years ago. He wrote books on a variety of topics, including Salem witchcraft, sexual and dietary reform and the Battle for Christmas: a Social and Cultural History of Christmas That Shows How it was Transformed from an Unruly Carnival Season into the Quintessental American Family Holiday.
This roughly half hour story time is focused on babies and toddlers. We will play finger games, do lap bounces, sing, dance, and read a story or two. No registration necessary.
