Santa rides in at the end of the parade around 7 pm, and downtown shops stay open all day for holiday shopping, so families can make an afternoon of it before claiming a curb spot.
Parent tip: Stake out a curb near City Park well before 6 pm. Bring blankets, since evenings in Paso get chilly fast in December.

For one evening, the Victorian homes along Vine Street glow with holiday decorations and residents step outside with music and entertainment for the 40th annual Victorian Showcase.
The walk covers thirteen blocks of historic houses, so kids can count lights, wave at carolers and pick a favorite porch while parents admire the architecture.
Parent tip: Park downtown and walk over, since Vine Street fills with strollers. Start at one end and work your way down so little legs do the stretch only once.

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.
