There’s something magical about gathering with friends during the Christmas season…

Twinkling lights. Cozy conversations. Favorite holiday stories. Handmade keepsakes that return year after year.

This December, we’re celebrating the season—and another wonderful year of Books & Brushstrokes—with our annual Christmas celebration designed especially for our community of readers.

Whether you’ve joined us all year long or this is your very first Books & Brushstrokes experience, we can’t wait to welcome you for an evening filled with books, creativity, delicious food, and Christmas cheer.

 📖 December Book Pick

 A Married Little Christmas by Abby Jimenez

Filled with humor, heart, family, and holiday romance, this month’s selection is the perfect way to wrap up another wonderful year of reading together.

Come ready to laugh, share your favorite moments, and celebrate the season with fellow book lovers.

📚 Books Available Locally

Copies of this month’s selection are available at The Hatter’s Bookshop.

🎨 December Creative Experience

Christmas Book Tree Keepsake

Create a charming wooden Christmas tree bookshelf that celebrates your love of books and the magic of the holiday season.

After painting your tree, you’ll style it with miniature books, handcrafted clay accents, tiny ornaments, festive greenery, bows, and other whimsical holiday embellishments to create a keepsake that’s uniquely yours.

No two trees will be exactly alike, making each one a beautiful reflection of your own style and love of reading.

It’s the perfect piece to display throughout the holidays and bring out year after year.

🌮 Dinner is on Us!

We’re making this year’s celebration even more special with a delicious taco bar catered by El Patron, complete with all your favorite toppings and fixings.

Because nothing brings people together quite like great food and great conversation.
