Little House's Naughty & Nice Gift Swap
With Santa's arrival around the corner, we've been inspired here at Little House... Introducing our second annual "Naughty & Nice Gift Swap".
Bring a gift to pick a gift on Saturday December 13th to play! Gift drop off starts at 6 pm and we'll start picking around 6:30. Check in with your bartenders upon arrival.
This is a 21+ event and not intended for younger brewery goers. Leave the kiddos at home for this one folks!
There is a $30 gift limit and gifts can be "naughty" or "nice". Rumor has it's the elves at Little House will be throwing in a couple items too!
---
The rules for the Gift Swap are as follows:
Each player brings a wrapped gift, naughty or nice in the $30 price range. Gifts should be unmarked and tagless.
Players draw numbers from a hat to determine the order in which they will select gifts.
The player with the lowest number goes first and picks a gift from the pile. They open the gift for everyone to see.
The next player can either choose a new gift from the pile or "steal" the gift that the previous player chose.
To keep the game moving, a gift can only be stolen 2 times.
The game ends when all the gifts have been unwrapped and no more swaps can take place.
The player who went first gets to choose from all the gifts or keep what they already have.

December Book: Good Spirits by B.K. Borison
About the Book
He’s the Ghost of Christmas Past. She’s not exactly Scrooge. Ghost of Christmas Past Nolan Callahan intends to spend this holiday haunting like every other—get in, get out, return to his otherwise aimless existence as a ghost awaiting the afterlife. But when he’s faced with Harriet York, the sweetest assignment he’s ever had, he suddenly finds himself wishing for a future. Harriet York has no idea why she’s being haunted. She’s a good person—or, at least, she tries to be. A people pleaser to her core, she always does what’s expected of her. But as she and Nolan begin to examine her past, they discover there are threads that bind them together— and realize there might be more to moving on than expected. With the deadline of Christmas Eve fast approaching, will they find the key to their futures in each other’s pasts? Or will they stay firmly in the present, indulging in their unexpected, spirited connection? Filled with magic, mayhem, and cozy holiday charm.
About the Author
New York Times, Sunday Times, and USA Today Bestselling author B.K. Borison is the author of cozy, contemporary romances featuring emotionally vulnerable characters and swoon-worthy settings. When she’s not daydreaming about fictional characters doing fictional things, she’s at home with her family, more than likely buying books she doesn’t have room for.

November Book: The Nightmare Before Kissmas by Sara Raasch
About the Book
Nicholas “Coal” Claus used to love Christmas. Until his father, the reigning Santa, turned the holiday into a PR façade. Coal will do anything to escape the spectacle, including getting tangled in a drunken, supremely hot make- out session with a beautiful man behind a seedy bar one night. But the heir to Christmas is soon commanded to do his duty: he will marry his best friend, Iris, the Easter Princess and his brother’s not-so-secret crush. A situation that has disaster written all over it. Things go from bad to worse when a rival arrives to challenge Coal for the princess’s hand…and Coal comes face-to-face with his mysterious behind-the-bar hottie: Hex, the Prince of Halloween. It’s a fake competition between two holiday princes who can’t keep their hands off each other over a marriage of convenience that no one wants. And it all leads to one of the sweetest, sexiest, messiest, most delightfully unforgettable love stories of the year.
About the Author
Sara Raasch has known she was destined for bookish things since the age of five, when her friends had a lemonade stand and she tagged along to sell her hand-drawn picture books too. Not much has changed since then — her friends still cock concerned eyebrows when she attempts to draw things and her enthusiasm for the written word still drives her to extreme measures. Her debut YA fantasy, SNOW LIKE ASHES, the first in a trilogy, came out October 14, 2014 from Balzer + Bray. It does not feature her hand-drawn pictures.

Live Music: Zach Andersen
After breaking his neck, all Zach Andersen could do during the recuperation process was play video games and learn to play guitar. Once he was all healed, he jokingly thought it would be fun to write his own songs. A few minutes later, this joke turned into a new passion and the formation of The Andersen Brothers (or something like that). Along with his brother, Eric, Zach took the local music scene by storm with their catchy, relatable and nostalgic songs. Their first album, "Unrequited Daze", was released in 2011 and contained crowd favorite "However Hard She Tries" and several other TAB classics.
While TABoslt is on hiatus, Zach continues to write and record song after song, album after album, releasing 3 studio albums, 3 live albums, and 7 singles over the past decade. You can also see Zach perform solo acoustic at all your favorite intimate venues, busy streets, packed conventions, or from the comfort of your computer screen.
Zach will make you laugh, cry, clap, sing along, and leave you with a song in your head and a smile on your face.

Influenced by an array of musical legends, Harold's unique sound is a fusion of the soulful funk of Prince, the experimental brilliance of Peter Gabriel, the poetic storytelling of Townes Van Zandt, and the avant-garde creativity of Mike Patton.
