Beginning Saturday November 15 and continuing through Tuesday, December 30, the Walter P. Chrysler Museum presents an historical perspective on Cars, Trees & Traditions. Stop by and enjoy the displays highlighting the holidays from the early 1900s through the 1980 with twenty exhibits that include decorated trees and Chrysler cars of the same vintage, as well as pictures representing the fashions, historical events, gifts, and toys.

If you have the time, why not see the rest of the museum. Here's a description from their website:
