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.

The story of Christmas in Palm City
Palm City sits in northeast Martin County with the South Fork of the St. Lucie River on its southeast side and Florida's Turnpike along its western edge, about 100 miles north of Miami. At Christmas, families head to a working farm setting, where a barn becomes the backdrop for a tree lighting and a gingerbread morning.
How Palm City celebrates
The Christmas events listed here both take place at Newfield, a community on SW Prairie Avenue that hosts what it calls signature events at Newfield Farm. The season opens on the first Friday of December with a holiday edition of Newfield Nights, where a tree lighting ceremony is joined by live music, food trucks, hot chocolate and yard games. Later in the month the Jolly Gingerbread Jamboree at the Market brings local vendors to a stretch named Merry Market Lane, with gingerbread decorating in the barn and photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus. Both are evenings or mornings spent outdoors, which suits a town in coastal Martin County.
Fun facts about Christmas in Palm City
