The Patio Planters of the Vieux Carre sponsored the popular event, providing candles and song books for participants. The non-denominational community celebration began in 1944as a simple gesture to bring Christmas cheer to those in the French Quarter ‘who might not be having much holiday fun,’ according to a 1948 Christmas Eve interview with Parker Harris, president of the Patio Planters.
