Tim Tamashiro and Arts Commons Presents invite you to don your favourite ugly Christmas sweater and revisit a time when the holidays meant TV specials, tinsel, and upbeat carols on your AM radio with this digital presentation of Timmy’s Happy Christmas, 1974, recorded live in the Jack Singer Concert Hall on December 10, 2021.
The year is 1974 and nine-year old “Little Timmy” is leafing through the Sears Wish Book, circling the things he wants for Christmas. While he waxes nostalgic, Tim takes you on a journey through Canadian Christmases past with some of your favourite classic holiday tunes. It’s an evening of music, storytelling, and laughter, wrapped up with a jazzy holiday ribbon with one of Calgary’s most beloved musicians.
