A *Spooky* Winter Holiday *Soiree*

"There's more of gravy than of grave about you, whatever you are!"

- Ebenezer Scrooge

We are thrilled to invite you to celebrate the holiday season with us, spine-chilling Victorian style!

It was, once upon a time of Victorian yore, a favorite Christmas tradition to gather around a fire to share spooky, supernatural stories. We hope you'll come and join us for our humble, contemporary recreation of this beloved custom!

This year we are joined by Joia Wood, community member, celebrated vocalist, and restorative storyteller, who will be sharing her talents with us in the form of a reading of a spooky Victorian Christmas ghost story.

Our lovely temperature-controlled office space will be decked out with present-day holiday cheer. Come gather around the electric fireplace, share a drink and a bite, make a few friends, and tune in to the eerie, meandering frequency of the likes of Charles Dickens and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Prepare to be delighted, and prepare to be spooked!

All are welcome. Come as you are (which we do hope includes petti- and over- coats). We so hope to see you there!

*Storytelling will be approximately half an hour beginning at 4:30.
