Holiday Traditions
Christmas cards and holiday decorations
Mailing cards to family and friends for the holiday is an age old tradition. Now, a new art exhibit and book

Professor Kenneth Ames is the author and organizer of the exhibition called “American Christmas Cards 1900-1960.” It’s on view at the Bard Graduate Center through the end of the year. But first WFUV's George Bodarky reports on one Bronx family’s holiday house. The Garabedian’s over the top Christmas displays have been a traffic snarling must-see for nearly four decades.
