The master of holiday cheer, Charles Phoenix, has stories to tell. And when he describes how Auntie Ann hit the bottle of ‘sauce’ just a little too much one Christmas day, or cousin Suzie got the full kitchen set with bonus wash machine while he got the shiny, red bike, it’s enough to make you choke with delight on your wiggly Jello–shaped like a Christmas tree. Lavishing the very best of a mid-century holiday slide collection with quick-witted commentary and a keen eye for oddball detail, Phoenix brings laughter to all who are willing to walk down Memory Lane in his annual holiday road show<\/a>.<\/p>\n Hilarious in his descriptions of Christmases past, Phoenix puts on quite a show. He’s wrapping up this year’s schedule today (Dec. 22, 2012) in Ventura with the Charles Phoenix Retro Holiday Show at 8 p.m., public invited.
