The Twelve Topsy-Turvy, Very Messy Days of Christmas
Published: September 2022


Move over, Dickens—America’s favorite storyteller has written a modern Christmas story for the ages.

Every year at Christmastime, Will and Ella Sullivan, and their father, Henry, come to a family agreement: Christmas is a holiday for other people.

At their brownstone in Harlem, stockings go unstuffed, tinsel unstrewn, gifts unbought, mistletoe unhung, chestnuts unroasted, carols unplayed, cookies uncooked, a tree un-visible, and guests uninvited.

Until guests start arriving anyway. In pairs and sixes, in sevens and tens—they keep coming. And they stay. For twelve long, hard, topsy-turvy, very messy days. That’s when the Sullivans discover that those moments in life that defy hope, expectation, or even imagination, might be the best gifts of all.


Complete ONE of the following:

1. Read a book tagged FAMILY any number of times.
2. Read a book with all the letters of HARLEM in the title.
3. Read a book where guests arrive at someone's home.
4. Read any James Patterson novel.
