Charles Phoenix's God Bless Americana: Retro Holiday Slide Show

Experience how we decorated, dressed up, dined, drank and smoked during the holidays in the '40s, '50s, '60s and '70s. Celebrate New Year's with the most bizarre Rose Parade floats ever; Easter mixing cocktails in a motel bathroom; and experience 4th of July fireworks at Disneyland. Carve a jack-o-lantern with a suburban dad and dress up for Halloween, and then live the tragic life of a Thanksgiving turkey. Attend a Christmas bondage party then learn how to make a toilet paper Christmas tree. Visit Santa's Village, Southern California's most bizarre theme park, see who got the best toys on Christmas morning and more.

Charles Phoenix's live retro slide shows delight audiences and critics from coast to coast. He reinvents the classic living room slide show by mixing and matching found 1940s, 50s and 60s vintage family and travel slides into a Kodachrome kaleidoscope of American culture. His witty observations and inspired narration blend the hysterical with the historical and the ironic with the iconic.
