Happy Hoidays! There’s nothing quite like the excitement of the holiday season. From Thanksgiving through the New Year, the holidays are filled with anxious anticipation, family & friends, warmth, generosity, and love. While we wax nostalgic for traditions of old, we know that creating new memories plays an important role in keeping the holiday spirit alive - especially when times or memories are tough. Our wish for you is a season full of memories that will linger throughout your lifetime and those with whom you share it. Our hope is that our stories play an integral role in the foundation of those memories. Whether it’s reading a new story together, or gifting an inspirational title to a friend, let’s rediscover the joy of reading and opt for books. Join us in sharing what you love most about the holidays and why you #optforbooks. Connect with us through Facebook, Twitter or Instagram @LaunchCrate to get in on the conversation. All the best to you and yours!
