Christmas Unwrapped with Dustin Pari

Everybody does the same things every December. Almost nobody knows why.

Dustin Pari's new lecture at the C.H. Booth Library goes through the origins of the Christmas traditions and legends we all run on autopilot: tinsel, wreaths, eggnog, advent calendars, the cookies left out for Santa, and Krampus, who is a stranger story than most of the others. It is a look under the wrapping paper at why we do what we do come December.

Good to know. Free, and registration is required to reserve your spot.

Where to go. The Meeting Room at the library, 25 Main Street.
