Whether at Hudson's, or sitting at the Fox Theatre, or seeing the hundreds of dolls and live reindeer at the famous Rotunda, the city can't get enough of the holiday season. Detroiters have been celebrating Christmas for over 300 years, when the city was French and children waited for Pere Noel. As holiday traditions evolve, some endure, like Christmas trees and children writing letters to Santa. Some, such as meat pie and saying 1,000 Hail Marys for good luck, fade, and new ones--Santa at the Thanksgiving Day Parade--take their place.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLocal history writer Bill Loomis leads a very merry jaunt through the happiest days of Christmas in Detroit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMotor City native Bill Loomis is the author of \u003ci\u003eDetroit's Delectable Past, Detroit Food, On This Day in Detroit History\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSecret Societies in Detroit\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as numerous articles for the \u003ci\u003eDetroit News, Michigan History Magazine, Hour Detroit, Crains Business Detroit\u003c\/i\u003e and a variety of national media, such as the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e.
