About 30 children showed up wearing their best Christmas pajamas. They ate cookies, drank hot cocoa and were given Christmas ornaments to take home. 

"Well I'm out here with moms and young preschool kids celebrating holidays, celebrating the fun of reading, and just being together and celebrating a local business," Kincannon said. "It's great being around kids and see them loving reading and getting exciting about Christmas and all of the holiday fun."

Kincannon said that the event was a success and enjoyed celebrating Christmas with the children and their families.
