The history and origin of Christmas carols can be traced back thousands of years. The songs that we know as Christmas carols were not really "Christmas carols" at all. Carols meaning; songs of praise and joy can be traced back to Europe. The art of Caroling meant (circle dance) and words were later added to the festive dances to create the tradition of Caroling. These songs were known as Pagan songs that were sung at Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year taking place around December 22.

The Peninsula Fine Arts Center’s Gallery Shop is a great place to find unique, truly one-of-a-kind works of art and crafts, plus hand-made jewelry, and carefully chosen items from near and far. Much of the artwork is done by local artists, often depicting local scenes or sites. So shopping at the Gallery Shop supports Pfac as well as local artists and craftspeople.
This year send family and friends unique items that reflect the community where you live and show off local talented artists. As a special attraction, Pfac is hosting “Artists in Residence” throughout the holidays, so people can meet, and see the artists at work. Holiday shoppers don’t usually get the opportunity to meat the person who created their gift purchases, but that is exactly what awaits customers to Peninsula Fine Arts Center’s Gallery Shop on select afternoons in December.
