Holiday Mayhem Awaits!

The holidays can be a magical time, but let’s face it—they can also get a bit messy! And maybe that’s why "The Santa Trap" by Jonathan Emmett and "Grumpy Monkey Oh, No! Christmas" by Suzanne Lang are two of our store’s favorite holiday books. These stories bring humor to the ups and downs of the season.

Meet Bradley Bartleby in "The Santa Trap." As the book says, he’s bad—really bad. This troublemaker has big ideas about what he deserves from Santa and decides to make sure he gets it. After a disappointing gift last year, Bradley outfits his entire house with traps to catch Santa, ready to have some words with him about last Christmas. But things don’t go as planned… in a BIG way. By the end, Bradley learns a little something about what the holidays are really about.

In "Grumpy Monkey Oh, No! Christmas," Jim the monkey is not having the Christmas he hoped for. It’s wet and miserable, and Jim isn’t shy about letting everyone know how he feels. Then, a friend offers him a warm cup of tea. As it soothes his stomach, Jim slows down, noticing the small wonders of the season he’d been too grumpy to see.

We love these books for bringing humor to holiday mishaps and warming our hearts. Our store has these and many other Christmas books, puzzles, and treats to help make your holiday season special. We’re open 10 am-6 pm Monday through Saturday and 1 pm-5 pm on Sundays.
