Samuels Public Library throws a Holiday Open House on a December Saturday afternoon, and the highlight for kids is Tinsel Town, a free Youth Holiday Market.
Children get to do their own shopping for the people they love, which makes it a sweet way for little ones to give a gift they picked out themselves.

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.
