At a Glance
Join Dr. Michael Foley, theologian and author, for the first lecture in this two-part series on Christmas traditions, where gift-givers were not always as jolly as the modern Santa Claus. Discover a time when the holiday season was filled with mysterious and sometimes menacing figures, including ghosts, witches and even a man-eating cat. This presentation will uncover the dark, forgotten aspects of Christmas lore, offering a fascinating glimpse into the eerie traditions of centuries past.
