Midlothian’s annual light-up parade takes on the theme Christmas Glow this year, stepping off from the 8th Street Bridge.
The route runs south on N. 8th Street to W. Avenue F, then west to Overlook Drive, so there is plenty of curb space for families along the way.
Parent tip: Some streets close at 5:45 pm. The city says neighborhoods along the route have ample parking, so arrive early and walk in.

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.
