Morning with Santa

Expand to see the parent tip

On the first Saturday of December, Santa spends the morning at the Brentwood Library. Kids can meet him, have their photo taken and hand over their Christmas wish list in person.

Around the visit there are crafts, treats, giveaways and a Christmas magic show with several performances through the morning. It all happens indoors, which makes it a cozy first Santa visit for little ones.

Parent tip: Pick up free magic show passes from the library’s children’s department in the weeks before, since the show seats fill up. Bring the wish list already written.

Tree lightingFree

Brentwood Christmas Tree Lighting

Expand to see the parent tip

The Brentwood City Commission switches on the city’s Christmas tree on a Monday evening in early December, outside the library. It is short and sweet, which suits a school night.

Grab a hot chocolate from the Friends of the Brentwood Library on your way in, sing along with the choir, and count down to the lights at 5:30 pm. In past years the library has paired the evening with Polar Express readings for kids.

Parent tip: Arrive a little early for hot chocolate and a good view. Traffic on Concord Road is heavy at that hour, so leave extra time to park.

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.
