Eating Christmas: Chow Bella's Third Annual Holiday Literary Event Goes Down Dec. 16 at Crescent Ballroom in Phoenix

Hey, what are you doing at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, December 16?

Wrong answer. You're heading downtown to Crescent Ballroom to hear some of the Valley's best writers bite down on the holidays, in the form of "Eating Christmas" -- our third annual Christmas/Food mash-up.

Here's the lineup:

Becky Bartkowski Josh Chesler Katie Johnson Judy Nichols Robrt Pela Kim Porter Julie Peterson Sativa Peterson Deborah Sussman Jason Woodbury

You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll definitely get hungry -- which is why it's a good thing there will be food and drink available for purchase at Cocina 10. Admission is free, although we'd love it if you bring a canned good or two to benefit St. Mary's Food Bank.

This is one of our favorite nights of the year. Hope to see you there.
