Moraga Parks and Recreation gathers families at Moraga Commons Park for cookies, cocoa and a visit from Santa, with the Joaquin Moraga Intermediate School choir singing holiday music.
The tree is lit promptly at 6:30 pm, and the town’s Buy-a-Bulb fundraiser lets families help pay for the lights that go on that night.
Parent tip: Arrive at 6 pm for Santa and the cocoa table, because the lighting itself happens right on schedule at 6:30.

For ten days after the tree lighting, a North Pole Mailbox stands beside the holiday tree in Moraga Commons Park, and kids can drop in a note to Santa.

The Town of Moraga sets up a hot buffet breakfast at Hacienda de las Flores over the second weekend of December, with four seatings across Saturday and Sunday.
Breakfast, drinks and a visit with Santa are all included in the registration fee, so the only thing families need to bring is their own camera.
Parent tip: Children 2 and under are not charged, and the 9 am seatings tend to suit toddlers best before the late-morning crowd.

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.
