Omaha's Christmas History

from Nebraska History Podcast · host Nebraska State Historical Society

Many Christmas activities and unique holiday customs developed in Omaha in the 1850s. By 1980, beautiful downtown store window displays had disappeared, but a strong tradition of charitable work has endured for over a century. This look back at the history of Christmas in Omaha comes from the 1987 Nebraska History Magazine article, "Sales, Santa, and Good Fellows: Celebrating Christmas in Omaha," by Tommy Thompson.
