EL CERRITO’S HOLIDAY DISPLAY IS A FOLK ART TREASURE By Michelle Fadelli | Photos courtesy of the Sundar Shadi Holiday Display collection Hand in hand, a man will whisper to his child, “My parents used to bring me here on Christmas Eve when I was a little boy.” Indeed, the Sundar Shadi Holiday Display has been delighting the residents of El Cerrito, and visitors from far and wide, since 1950. Every year, people return to see this vintage exhibit with fond memories, whether they remember it from a few years ago…or 50 years or more. The display is a vast collection of hand-made human figures, animals and buildings that, when assembled, depict the historical walk of the wise men toward Bethlehem—lit by the glow of a sparkling star under the gaze of a golden-haired angel.
