Family movie night

Santa Claus Conquers the Martians: Interactive Movie Family Night

Expand to see the parent tip

The American Fork Library kicks off an “out of this world” Christmas with an interactive screening of the cult classic Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.

It is a family night built around joining in with the movie, so expect space-age silliness rather than quiet viewing.

Parent tip: Get there a few minutes early to grab seats together in the Community Room. It is a school night, so the 8 pm finish works well for younger kids.

Holiday show

Christmas in the Rotunda: A Christmas Carol One-Man Show

Expand to see the parent tip

As part of the library’s annual Christmas in the Rotunda series, Bryan Johnson performs A Christmas Carol on his own, voicing Scrooge, the ghosts and the Cratchits.

At an hour long, it is a manageable way to introduce kids to Dickens’ story of a miser who learns to keep Christmas.

Parent tip: This is the best pick in the Rotunda series for school-age kids. Talk through the three ghosts beforehand so younger listeners can follow along.

A story for the drive home

A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.

Rally Takes the Train book cover: a watercolor corgi peeking from a red train

A bedtime story after seeing SantaRally Takes the Train is a five-minute rhyming picture book about a corgi’s first ride on a California train, hand-painted in watercolor. $16.99 on Amazon, ages 0 to 8.
