Joan Muschler and Glen Parsons will present “Christmas Memories” at the Albert Lea Art Center’s monthly Godtland Lecture Series at 7 p.m. Dec. 19. They will be basing their talk on a book called “A Christmas Memory” by Truman Capote that was based on his childhood memories. The book shares his story with a favorite cousin, Sook Falk, much his senior, who were best friends as he grew up in Alabama.

They will also be sharing some other Christmas memories by some famous Minnesotans and maybe a few songs.
