Plan your December

When each Willingboro Christmas event for kids happens

Say hello to Santa at the December 5 tree lighting, and register the whole family for the December 12 breakfast before the December 9 deadline.

Looking further afield? Our New Jersey Christmas events for kids guide lists every confirmed event in the state, and we have city guides for Plumsted, Princeton, Pitman and Monroe. The national search sorts every event by distance from your town.

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.
