You're Invited to Santa's North Pole!

Come kick off the season at this exclusive MONA event. Immerse yourself in a magical Winter Wonderland, snap festive photos with Santa using your own camera, enjoy milk and cookies (plus beverages for the adults!), and write letters to Santa via his personal post! Santa’s Elves at MONA will do their best to deliver return letters by Christmas Eve. Please note that this year Santa is visiting us early so your kids get to brag about meeting Santa early and incorporate pictures into your holiday cards, if you wish!

Santa’s lovely volunteer helper Elf Alexandria from the past three years will be accompanying him again this year. In the spirit of giving, Alexandria, now a 5th grader at Jamestown Elementary School, will be hosting a toy drive for the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program (https://www.toysfortots.org/about-marine-corps-toys-for-tots/) at this event. If willing and able, we ask that each participating family please bring a new unwrapped toy as donation. Alexandria will personally deliver the toys to Toys for Tots.

Join the MONA Book Club for our November Read: Midnight Library by Matt Haig

About the Book:

Somewhere out beyond the edge of the universe there is a library that contains an infinite number of books, each one the story of another reality. One tells the story of your life as it is, along with another book for the other life you could have lived if you had made a different choice at any point in your life. While we all wonder how our lives might have been, what if you had the chance to go to the library and see for yourself? Would any of these other lives truly be better?

In The Midnight Library, Matt Haig's enchanting blockbuster novel, Nora Seed finds herself faced with this decision. Faced with the possibility of changing her life for a new one, following a different career, undoing old breakups, realizing her dreams of becoming a glaciologist; she must search within herself as she travels through the Midnight Library to decide what is truly fulfilling in life, and what makes it worth living in the first place.

Join the MONA Book Club for our December Read: Comfort & Joy by Kristin Hannah

About the Book:

Joy Candellaro once loved Christmas more than any other time of the year. Now, as the holiday approaches, she is at a crossroads in her life; recently divorced and alone, she can’t summon the old enthusiasm for celebrating. So without telling anyone, she buys a ticket and boards a plane bound for the beautiful Pacific Northwest. When an unexpected detour takes her deep into the woods of the Olympic rainforest, Joy makes a bold decision to leave her ordinary life behind—to just walk away—and thus begins an adventure unlike any she could have imagined.

In the small town of Rain Valley, six-year-old Bobby O’Shea is facing his first Christmas without a mother. Unable to handle the loss, Bobby has closed himself off from the world, talking only to his invisible best friend. His father Daniel is beside himself, desperate to help his son cope. Yet when the little boy meets Joy, these two unlikely souls form a deep and powerful bond. In helping Bobby and Daniel heal, Joy finds herself again.

But not everything is as it seems in quiet Rain Valley, and in an instant, Joy’s world is ripped apart, and her heart is broken. On a magical Christmas Eve, a night of impossible dreams and unexpected chances, Joy must find the courage to believe in a love—and a family—that can’t possibly exist, and go in search of what she wants . . . and the new life only she can find.
