The Fleming Smith Warehouse — Maxwell’s home — has always had the bones of a castle. So last December, we decided to lean into that spirit and transform the club into our own little Hogwarts for the holidays.

No detail was spared. Every room glowed with wreaths and garlands wrapped in twinkling lights. Three towering 10-foot Christmas trees stood as sentinels throughout the space, each decorated to perfection.

Across our bookshelves and tables, miniature holiday villages from Department 56 came to life, houses arranged into charming tableaus that invited guests to linger and explore.

The festive scene continued with vibrant poinsettias scattered throughout the club, adding bursts of red and green to every corner.

Our Grand Bash Christmas Party brought it all to life: Santa himself arrived, offering guests a chance to perch on his lap for photos. In the kitchen, members gathered to bake and decorate fresh Christmas cookies, the scent of cinnamon and sugar drifting through the rooms.

It was a night of warmth, laughter, and just enough magic to make the Fleming Smith Warehouse feel like a holiday storybook come true.
