Emotional Christmas and America’s 250^th celebration

are the subjects of 10 scheduled 2026 events

by Chester County author Bruce E. Mowday

            EAST GOSHEN _ For the Christmas holiday season, author Bruce E. Mowday will  give talks and take part in signings featuring his new book, Emotional Christmas, and his historical and true crime works.

“I wrote the essays to go with artist Karl J. Kuerner’s wonderful paintings in Emotional Christmas. Karl’s creations captures the essence of the holiday season in his home of Chadds Ford and throughout the land. Besides the paintings, Karl’s description of the creation of the creations add so much to the book,” Mowday said.

Emotional Christmas is the third book in a series based on Kuerner’s paintings and Mowday’s essays. Emotional Gettysburg and Emotional Brandywine depict two national historic events. “The books are ‘emotional’ because Karl connects with each subject of his paintings,” Mowday said. “The books relate personal stories. One reader said he will never look at Gettysburg the same way after reading the books.”

Mowday and Kuerner began the holiday season with a presentation on November 5 at Ware Presbyterian Village, Oxford.  One member of the audience commented, “Thank you, Bruce, for your great presentation. I have received several positive comments from the residents. We all loved the way that you and Karl interacted and Karl’s description of his artistic process, which made for a very special evening.”

On November 24 at the West Grove Library at 6:30 p.m., Kuerner and Mowday will give a presentation on Emotional Christmas.

The Emotional series of books will be available at the Archbishop Wood Holiday Craft Fair, Warminster, on November 20 and 21 and at the Hershey’s Mill benefit event on December 1. Mowday will sign books at the Barnes & Noble, Exton, on December 19 from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m.

On November 10 before the Berks County Civil War Round Table, Mowday will talk on the importance of the 250^th anniversary of the founding of the United States. On November 28, Mowday is the scheduled 250^th speaker at the Mill at Anselma. The talk begins at 2 p.m.
