Welcome to Christmas in July 2023. As DH and I were traveling last summer the idea for this year’s theme came to me, Christmas Through the Decades.
I asked DH questions about his childhood Christmases and what he enjoyed most about Christmas. We had quite a long discussion about our childhood memories of Christmas past. Our favorite family events, toys, traditions, and foods.
It is hoped that this will inspire memories we can share with one another as well as increase our knowledge as to how some traditions began.
Sprinkled in are some Special Days of the history, events, or icons of Christmas. Pleasel share your own family traditions and memories as we travel Through the Decades. Tomorrow LoriK will start us off as we look at the 1940s. For today, I leave you with a couple of links regarding Dear Old Santa. The first link is a pictorial history and the second link is the history of the Coca Cola Santa. Merry Christmas in July!
