Hello all,

My Director has asked me to ask the List what your
official position is at your museum regarding this
festive time of year.

We have traditionally called our programs "Holiday"
events this time of year -- Holiday Open House,
Holiday Tea, Holiday Hearth Cooked Dinner, etc.  We
are fully decorated with about 30 Christmas trees in
our historic room settings and throughout our "Street
of Shops" (a life sized indoor town).  We do have an
outreach program exploring the origins of Holiday
Traditions, including Hanukkah and Kwanzaa, but most
of our events in house focus around the Christmas
decorations, visiting with Santa, and that kind of
thing.

We are wondering if other museums use the word
"Christmas" in their events, or if you choose to say
"Holidays."

Thank you for your input!

Kim
