Looking forward to seeing you in the new year!
Susan,Congratulations on finishing 81 books in this challenge!!! That’s awesome!!!
I’ve signed up for next year but I have a question. Does a Santa costume count for this challenge? Obviously Santa needs to wear the suit for his role so it’s sort of a uniform. I just finished a story that included an older couple and the hero was Santa for years.
