Tales from the Naughty List: A Krampus Holiday Market
Not every holiday story belongs on the nice list. Join KC Book Beat for Tales from the Naughty List: A Krampus Holiday Market on Saturday, December 12, at the Story Loft. Explore a carefully curated market filled with local authors, independent booksellers, artists, makers, and small businesses. Shop for books, bookish gifts, folklore-inspired art, ornaments, candles, jewelry, vintage treasures, unusual creations, and plenty of yuletide curiosities. Enjoy themed photo opportunities and discover gifts for everyone on your list, including those who may not have been especially well behaved this year. Tales from the Naughty List offers a mischievous alternative to the traditional holiday market while still celebrating stories, creativity, local businesses, and the joy of finding the perfect gift. Costumes are welcome. Curiosity is encouraged. The naughty list is always watching. Books, Gifts & Yuletide Mischief.
