The day after Thanksgiving, Santa rolls into Downtown Newnan on a fire truck and lights the Christmas tree on the Court House Square himself.
Once the tree is glowing, kids line up to sit on Santa’s lap and read him their Christmas lists. The event is free, smoke free and litter free.
Parent tip: Have kids write their lists before you leave home so they are ready to read them to Santa, and stay downtown for Plaid Friday shopping at the same time.

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.
