Christmas Village in Baltimore lists Meet Santa holiday photo days on Thanksgiving weekend, November 27, 28 and 29. The village also says Santa photos are available at the Baltimore Visitor Center throughout the season, with walk ins welcome but advance booking recommended.

Other kid friendly extras that weekend include balloon twisting, and Gingy the Gingerbread strolls the market on Saturdays and Sundays from 1 to 4 pm. A carousel and a 65 foot Ferris wheel run from November 21 to December 27, with height rules for young riders. The page does not list photo prices or Santa hours.

Miss Allie at the Johnston Square Branch invites children to turn small cardboard boxes into DIY gingerbread houses, decorated with polymer clay and resin candies. The library notes this is a completely inedible craft, a fun way to get ready for the winter season without the sticky mess of real icing.

Kids can take their creation home or leave it behind to help decorate the library. The workshop runs one hour on a Tuesday after school, and Pratt Library programs are free. Because polymer clay and small decorations are involved, it is best for school age children who can work with small pieces. Check the Pratt calendar closer to the date for any updates, and arrive on time since craft supplies are prepared for the session.

Parent tip: The decorations are not edible, so remind little ones not to taste them.

The Northwood Branch of the Enoch Pratt Free Library is hosting a special winter celebration evening storytime on the Monday before Christmas. It is billed as a family storytime, so siblings of different ages can come along together.

The program runs one hour in the early evening, which works well for families after school and work. Pratt Library programs are free. The listing is short on detail, so expect a classic library storytime with a seasonal theme. Earlier in December, Northwood also offers a paper gingerbread house craft on December 10, if your family wants a second visit. Come a few minutes early to settle in, since evening programs can fill the room with families. Check the Pratt calendar for any updates closer to the date.

Parent tip: An evening option the week before Christmas; Northwood also has a paper gingerbread house craft on Dec 10.

Children can take their ornament home to hang on the tree. Check the Pratt calendar closer to the date for any updates, and arrive a little early to get settled before the movie starts.

Parent tip: The movie is rated PG and runs about 90 minutes.

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.
