Talk with authentically costumed historians about Christmas traditions of the past.  Watch demonstrations of classic Christmas projects of the 1800s including Christmas baking, mulled cider, making ornaments and Christmas stockings, punching tin lanterns, making pottery, and more!

During the holiday season, Carol tends to take Christmas way too far at work with decorations, presents, and overbearing traditions that not everyone appreciates in the office.  Her co-workers love Carol, but this time of year she gets on everyone’s last nerve, so they formulate a plan for the company party that night!  With wacky office hijinks, pranks, and even an office romance, will her co-workers be able to help Carol remember the true meaning of Christmas?
