CHRISTMAS CELEBRATIONS IN 19TH-CENTURY TEXAS blended traditions from many cultures and often centered on handmade decorations, gifts, and gatherings with family and friends. In this SPARK! session, participants will explore how Texans celebrated the holiday season through artifacts, photographs, and archival materials from the San Jacinto Museum's collections. Participants will discuss holiday customs of the past and create a Victorian-inspired Christmas ornament to take home.
