BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Nov. 24, 2015 - PRLog -- Barnes & Noble to Host Book Signing for Christmas in Birmingham

Local author, Tim Hollis, will be available to sign copies of book


For decades, the Christmas season in Birmingham was not complete without the sights and sounds of the retail district. During the season, the Magic City made magic with elaborate light displays and the Living Christmas Tree in Woodrow Wilson Park. Many remember the battling Santas of Loveman’s and Pizitz, each vying for the hearts of the community. The elaborate Enchanted Forest dazzled shoppers on the sixth floor at Pizitz. In the 1940s, more than 200,000 people lined the streets each year to make merry for the Christmas Carnival parade. Author and local historian Tim Hollis celebrates the happy history of Birmingham’s holiday season, reviving the traditions and festivities, the food and shopping of days gone by.

Highlights from Christmas in Birmingham  include:

• This book primarily covers Birmingham’s Christmas celebrations from the 1940s to the present
• It looks at the rivalry between those two department store titans Pizitz and Loveman’s, with their dueling displays and Santas
• The book touches on Birmingham’s attempt to outdo the Macy’s Day Parade with its own number of giant balloon creatures.
