Our Christmas Past celebration takes place on the 2nd Saturday in December. The date for the 2024 Christmas event is December 14.
What makes a holiday special?Holidays are a combination of special family traditions and wider cultural practices. However we celebrate, there's always an excited anticipation for these once-a-year celebrations. Just like today, the soldiers, officers and their families at remote frontier Army posts in the 1860s eagerly anticipated Christmas. For them it offered a welcome break from the dull routine of garrison duty. |
