Für die Saison 2026 haben wir 6 Weihnachtsveranstaltungen für Kinder in Gütersloh geprüft, vom 4. Dezember bis 23. Dezember. Davon sind 3 kostenlos. Los geht es mit „Spexarder Weihnachtsmarkt mit Nikolaus und Kinderkarussell“, den Abschluss macht „Gütersloher Weihnachtsmarkt mit Neukonzept“. Jeder Eintrag verlinkt auf eine Seite, die den Termin bestätigt, beim Veranstalter oder in einem Veranstaltungskalender. Diese Seite gehört zu unserem Ratgeber für Weihnachten mit Kindern in Deutschland.

This guide is free for every family. Buying a copy of Rally Takes the Train is what keeps it that way.
Rally wakes up early, packs his suitcase, finds his seat by the window, makes a friend of the conductor, sheds a little “corgi glitter” down the aisle, and gets to the grand-paw-rents at the end of the line. It is a happy book, and many families reading it are remembering someone too.
A rhyming story you can read at bedtime in about five minutes
Every page hand-painted in real watercolor by Leslie Dunn, never AI
For ages 0 to 8, the perfect Christmas gift or stocking stuffer
My mom, Debra Kay Lizee, passed away in 2021, in the middle of the pandemic, before she ever wrote a word of it. So I did. I wrote it so her idea would not end with her.
Read the rest of my story
I wrote Rally Takes the Train, but it was my mom’s idea first. For as long as I can remember, she talked about a little corgi who packs his toys, rides the train along the coast with his family, and finds his grand-paw-rents waiting on the platform at the very last stop. Rally is our real corgi, and she adored him.
I wrote the story in rhyme, the way she always described it, short enough to read at bedtime in about five minutes. It is a happy book. Her idea was a happy one, and the book had to be too.
Leslie Dunn painted every page by hand in real watercolor on paper. Nothing was generated or retouched with AI, because it had to be made by people who cared about it.
Mom, thank you for the perfect idea that let me channel my grief into something bigger. Dad, thank you for supporting my goal of making this book a reality in her honor. I’m sorry you never got to see it completed, but this book is now for you too.
