A Gardener's Christmas HERALDS THE 2021 VICTORIAN YULETIDE CELEBRATION November 26 through January 2 Have you ever wondered why we decorate our homes with holly, poinsettias, and mistletoe during the annual holiday season? Did you know that centuries-old celebrations are at the root of many 19th-century holiday customs? The name “yuletide” derives from the celebrations that Scandinavian and Germanic people of northern Europe created, called “yule.” Some scholars believe that yule originally began as a sun festival held on the winter solstice. Find out the answers and experience the magic of the season with the 2021 Victorian Yuletide Celebration, November 26 through January 2 in the Museum of Art Fountain Elms galleries. In the Dining Room, discover why holly was used by the ancient Romans. During the feast of the Saturnalia, holly decorated homes because it was the sacred plant of the god Saturn. When Christianity was established, the tradition of holly use became associated with the celebrations surrounding the birth of the Christ child. For centuries since, holly has symbolized the recurring beauty of evergreens in the midst of the dormant winter landscape. In the Parlor, find the brilliant Mexican poinsettia, which has now been adopted widely in the United States. Learn why the ancient Aztecs cultivated poinsettia plants. Their colored flowers are actually leaves that have turned a different shade of crimson red or ivory white, the only two natural colors that poinsettias display. The Library will showcase the beauty of mistletoe. Discover how the Nordic people believed that mistletoe could resurrect the dead. This belief was based on the story of the life of Balder (god of light and goodness), who was killed by an arrow made of mistletoe but brought back to life when the tears of his mother Frigga (goddess of love) turned the red mistletoe berries white. The Victorian fascination with exotic plants will be on display in the Bedroom. Ferns, too delicate to be grown outside, were cultivated in terrariums. Orchids became a popular status symbol of wealth and skill at horticulture by the end of the 19th century because of their rarity in North America. Usually orchid expeditions were needed to pull them from the rain forests of South America. Greenhouses were needed to keep them year-round, an expensive proposition for any amateur gardener.

Carefully constructed paper clothing acts as a tether linking the present to a past when paper was not just a basic currency, but held the power to determine the freedom of a human being. Jean-Louis guides us along her journey through the lens of time, bringing forth an awareness of the past that is both delicate and vital.

GIVING TUESDAY IS NOVEMBER 30! Your Support Helps Young Creatives Munson-Williams is an artistic outlet and creative catalyst for thousands of local school children. We are eager to do more in the coming year, and you can help! Giving Tuesday is a national day of giving, raising awareness of the importance of nonprofits in our communities. In 2020, Americans set a record by giving an estimated $2.5 billion to their favorite organizations. For Munson-Williams, the day is an opportunity to focus on one of many outstanding programs the Institute provides. Be a part of the giving this year by supporting opportunities for children through our Community Arts Education program. Your contribution will provide tuition assistance for young artists who can’t otherwise afford to take part, along with materials they will need, and any other attendant costs that take away boundaries for area youth.
Thank you for your support of Munson-Williams, and best wishes for a wonderful upcoming holiday season.
