The City of Douglas opens its Super Douglas World Christmas celebration by lighting the tree at City Hall at 5:30 pm, then sends a glowing Light Parade down G Avenue in the historic downtown at 7 pm.
This year the Youth Sports League is being honored, so expect plenty of local kids and teams in the lineup, which makes the curb a fun place for young parade fans to wave at friends.
Parent tip: Watch the lighting at City Hall, then walk the few blocks to G Avenue early to claim a spot along the parade route before 7 pm.

Santa rolls into Raul Castro Park with the Christmas Kart Crew for a morning of festive photos, and families are invited to bring their best holiday pose.
It is a relaxed three-hour window on a Saturday, so you can stop by when it suits naps and lunch rather than standing in a mall line.
Parent tip: Bring your own phone or camera for the photo, and come closer to 10 am if you want the shortest wait.

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.
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.
