Top of this Black Friday with an event that actually embraces the true spirit of Christmas! Come join us in a very special bookstore event!
Meet the author – Renae Baker, a former Twin Cities resident, is the founder and director of a company of Broadway holiday carolers who go by the names “The Fabulous Fezziwigs,” “The Broadway CARE-olers” and more, who have been bringing diverse groups of people together in holiday song all over NYC (and beyond) since 1997! Renae gave a TEDx talk called “Can Caroling Leas to World Peace?” which explains how making music together in groups creates more cooperation, coordination and empathy in the world. This special author event puts this idea into practice with holiday carols!
Renae will read AND SING selections from her book, Defeating Scrooge - How to Harness the Power of Christmas Carols to Revive YourSpirit Any Time of Year. You are welcome to join in singing your favorite holiday carols and get your Christmas spirit up and running before before the Scrooges have a chance to bring you down! You will learn fascinating histories and thought-provoking ways to apply that wisdom to today’s world. Receive a free one-of-a-kind carol book as a gift with purchase, as well as other online gifts for participating. Bring your friends, and start the holiday season with a sing along. Many people who have purchased this hardcover book have come back to buy more as gifts for their family and friends!
