The City of Norcross kicks off its HoliDAYS in Norcross lineup with an evening of carriage rides, holiday hits and hot cocoa in Thrasher Park.
Santa makes a special appearance with his not-so-jolly friend the Grinch, which tends to be the highlight for kids who like a little mischief with their Christmas.

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.
