Surprising and fun ways to celebrate the holiday season will be offered at Lifetree Café at 7 p.m. Monday.

The Lifetree event, called “A Christmas Surprise: Rekindling the Joy of Christmas,” features a filmed interview with a man who bakes, decorates and gives away more than 4,000 cookies each Christmas.

Alan Kobs is in his home kitchen daily from October through Christmas, but he doesn’t consider it a burden.

“It’s in the giving,” Kobs said. “I think about the people who are going to be the recipients of these cookies and the joy it might bring.”

Participants also will be offered the opportunity to provide a hands-on surprise for members of the local community who must work on Christmas Day.

Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Snacks and beverages are available. Lifetree Café is at the Community Room, First Christian Church, 11717 240th St SE, Kent

Lifetree Café is a place where people gather for conversation on life and faith in a casual coffeehouse-type setting.
