This past Thursday, I hosted our annual girls’ Christmas book club at our house. Like so many other events, last year’s Christmas book club was done virtually over Zoom. So I was so excited to have everyone back at our house this year!

I love hosting this little get together because for me, it’s always the kick-off to the holiday week. And with so much time with family over the holidays, I love starting the holiday week with girlfriends.

Christmas jammies are encouraged. But, honestly, anything comfy does the trick. This year, the Chiefs played on Thursday night, so instead of having a Christmas movie playing, we had the Chiefs game playing!

I always choose a couple of appetizers/snacks to have for everyone. And we have so much fun sipping wine, eating snacks, and kicking off the holiday season.

Last year, with COVID, we added Secret Santa to make it even more fun, and decided to keep that up this year. We organized it so that you’d deliver one gift a week for two weeks leading up to Book Club, and then we’d do the reveal during book club! It’s so much fun listening to what everyone received, the Ring doorbell antics so you aren’t caught on camera. Just so much fun getting to do a little something special for a girlfriend over the holidays.

Love starting the holiday season with good girlfriends!
