Our story tonight is called Holiday Window at the Bookshop, and it’s a story about clearing out the pumpkins and setting up the twinkle lights on a rainy December afternoon. It’s also about old buildings with tall ceilings and heavy front doors, a dog asleep in a chair, paper stars and puddles among the cobblestones, and the promise of a new book to whisk you away somewhere magical.

We give to a different charity each week, and this week, we are giving to Empower. They provide children, teens, and young adults relief from grief and guide them through life following the loss of a parent.

Our story tonight is called Out of the Cold, and it’s a story about a windy day and a place to warm up. It’s also about pine boughs and an open wrought iron gate, smoke rising from a chimney in the distance, a black cat, cookies and tea, and the good feeling of stepping into the warmth with a friend.

We give to a different charity each week, and this week, we are giving to the Howell Nature Center. They pride themselves in being a second home to anyone who wants to Heal, Grow, and Be Wild in nature.
