Club Rental Fee Waiver Special for Members For the next six months (November 2018 through April 2019) your Club is extending an opportunity to those who have been members for over three years to reserve/rent the Club at no facility rental cost.

  • History of Christmas R S 373 (43340)
    History of Christmas R S 373 (43340) Semester: Fall 2018 Instructor: Brent Landau Description: This course will explore the evolution of the modern Christmas holiday, beginning with the birth stories of Jesus in the New Testament and concluding with the supposed “War on Christmas” that some recent commentators believe has sought to remove the Christian religious roots of the holiday. Topics to be addressed include: non-Christian antecedents to and influences on Christmas; canonical and apocryphal stories about Jesus’ birth and childhood; the designation of Christmas on Dec. 25th in the fourth century; the raucous and subversive character of early-modern Christmas celebrations and their suppression by the Puritans; the fixing of the current American version of Christmas in the nineteenth and twentieth century; the contemporary debate over the constitutionality of religious Christmas displays in public places. Important UT Policies and Procedures Information: UGS Flags: This course carries the Ethics and Leadership Flag.

Santa Claus (also known as Saint Nicholas, Saint Nick, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, Santy or simply Santa) is a folklore figure in various cultures who distributes gifts to children, normally on Christmas Eve . Each name is a variation of Saint Nicholas , but refers to Santa Claus. In today's North American, European and worldwide celebration of Christmas, people young and old simply refer to the hero of the season as Santa , or Santa Claus. (Wikipedia) Conventionally, Santa Claus is portrayed as a kindly, round-bellied, merry, bespectacled white man in a red coat trimmed with white fur, with a long white beard . On Christmas Eve, he rides in his sleigh pulled by flying reindeer from house to house to give presents to children. To enter the house, Santa Claus comes down the chimney and exits through the fireplace . During the rest of the year he lives together with his wife Mrs. Claus and his elves manufacturing toys . Some modern depictions of Santa (often in advertising and popular entertainment) will show the elves and Santa's workshop as more of a processing and distribution facility, ordering and receiving the toys from various toy manufacturers from across the world.

These events center around the figure of the Krampus, a beast-like, punishing “devil” that accompanies St. Nicholas on December 5, the eve of his feast day. By 2010, groups of people in US cities were staging their own Krampusnacht processions in downtown areas, referencing the European enactments while simultaneously innovating their embodiments to meaningfully interact with the Christmas season in the United States. Participation in these events increases annually and the Krampus figure’s presence online and in popular media is on the rise.

  • Darien High School Holiday Season 2007
    NEIRAD HOLIDAY SEASON 2007 Darien High School Holiday Season 2007 10 H OLIDAY S EA S ON 2 0 0 7 Darien Gets a Taste of Winter Courtney Whiting and Hadley Green Explore Suburban Wintertime Christy’s Santa Story Christy Lattimer ————————————————————————————— Staff Writer Everyone knows the classic movie “A Christmas Story”, one of the funniest holiday tales of all time. And for those who aren’t quite feeling that holiday spirit, I highly suggest you see the film. The movie has an important message – beware of Santa!! “A Christmas Story” is the be- loved tale of young Ralphie Parker a child on a desperate mission to get a Red Ryder BB Gun for Christmas. I especially loved this movie because I was able to connect with dear little Ralphie. As Ralphie and I found, Santa is not always nice. Like every child, Ralphie and I had the dream of fi- nally landing a face-to-face with the “Christy’s Santa Story” jolly fat man: a final chance to tell the Christmas CEO about that one spe- cial present. Imagine how Ralphie and I felt when the moment was de- stroyed. But when Ralphie finally gets his shot he is ripped off Santa’s lap. As Ralphie is about to be pushed down the slide he beseeches Santa with a request for the Red Ryder BB Gun. Santa responds by shoving Ralphie down the slide! This scene rings all too true. When I was a mere six-years-old I too went to visit Mr. Claus filled with hope for that one special gift: a warm little Sinterklass: Back to Ole Europe puppy.

  • Perchtenlauf” in Its Relationship to the Carnivalesque
    Ritual Rebellion and Social Inversion in Alpine Austria: Rethinking the “Perchtenlauf” in its Relationship to the Carnivalesque by David Natko A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts Approved April 2014 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: John Alexander, Chair Daniel Gilfillan Peter Horwath ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2014 ABSTRACT The "Perchtenlauf," a multi-faceted procession of masked participants found in the eastern Alps, has been the subject of considerable discourse and often debate within European ethnology since the mid-19th century. While often viewed from a mythological perspective and characterized as a relic of pre-Christian cult practices, only recently have scholars begun to examine its connection with Carnival. Research of this kind calls for an in-depth analysis of the "Perchtenlauf" that is informed by Bakhtin's theory of the carnivalesque, an aesthetic of festive merriment and the release from social restrictions which is embodied by Carnival traditions. A carnivalesque reading of the "Perchtenlauf" reveals a tradition pregnant with playful ambivalence, celebrations of the lower body, and the inversion of social hierarchies. Past interpretations of the "Perchtenlauf" have often described its alleged supernatural function of driving away the harmful forces of winter, however its carnavalesque elements have definite social functions involving the enjoyment of certain liberties not sanctioned under other circumstances. The current study solidifies the relationship between the "Perchtenlauf" and Carnival using ethnographic, historical, and etymological evidence in an attempt to reframe the discourse on the tradition's form and function in terms of carnivalesque performance. i TABLE OF CONTENTS Page CHAPTER 1 PRELIMINARY REMARKS AND REVIEW OF LITERATURE ....................

The lights in shop windows and holiday hum, a promise of bellies full of cookies and piles of presents. And when most of us think of Christmas we think of a bearded man in a red suit, jolly and adept at delivering toys. We accept his magical elfin assistants and flying abilities in a way that goes almost unquestioned, chalking it up to the “magic of the season.” And when we think of holiday horrors it is usually high prices or forgotten presents, perhaps a burnt Christmas ham. What would your children say if you whispered tales to them not of Christmas cheer and sightings of the elusive Santa Claus, but stories of a different kind of magic altogether? What if you told them that at the stroke of midnight on Christmas Eve, curious things happen: Wells run with blood. Animals talk. Buried treasures are revealed and water turns to wine. And if you warned them of witches that leapt from roof to roof, or ghosts that hung about the chimneys waiting to visit them in the dark of the night, would they still anticipate the winter holidays in the same way?
