Speaker: Jennie Gunther
Do you hang some of the same ornaments on your Christmas tree every year? Were they the same ones your parents hung when you were a child? Were they the 'special ornaments' you made yourself? Do you use the same garland and candle lanterns to decorate your mantle? What about those beautiful painted Russian eggs at Easter? Do you set up a Mary's altar for May? Or a special carving design for your Halloween jack-o-lantern? Did your family have a watermelon seed spitting contest on Independence Day? Did you family gather together for the annual Veteran's Day Parade? Did you join your grandparents for the annual Memorial Day grave dressing?
Let's share some of our favorite holiday traditions, stories and artifacts. Bring your holiday ornaments, or pictures -- with their stories -- or traditional practices from any holiday, from any country, from any time. We'll share our decorative artifacts, our memories, and some warm camaraderie and holiday refreshments to close out our calendar year.
All WCGS meetings are free and open to the public. Bring a friend! Refreshments will be served during social time after the presentation.
