What if you could step into a charming small town dressed in twinkling lights, wander through a cozy bookstore, sip hot chocolate with friends, collect keepsakes, and celebrate Christmas one magical stop at a time?
That’s exactly what you’ll find in Christmas in Normal.
Originally created as a special Christmas in July event for my reader community, this twelve-stop adventure became something much bigger than I ever imagined. Readers told me they laughed, smiled, cried, and felt as though they’d actually spent Christmas in Normal, Kentucky.
Now, I’m excited to make that experience available year-round.
