Sorry I'm a little late on this month's post, but I just turned 25 ( wink, wink) and I was celebrating the good times!
This season is so full with so many events for families to do that are free to low cost. Some of the ones I will mention will be in December, because they require an advance registration or they may fill up fast. For example, last year Houston Mom's Blog hosted a Breakfast with Santa event with an amazing swag bag, and it sold it in a matter of minutes. Lucky for you they are still on sale and you can purchase them here. The cost is $35, but it includes photo with Santa, a kid friendly swag bag, breakfast and lots of fun activities.
If that's above your price range, no worries there are LOTS of free Santa Photo ops like this one-- Free Santa Pics at Bass Pro from November 10th- December 24th You will need to arrive early and receive a pass that tells you when to come back and take the picture—usually within about 1 hour. Don’t worry there are lots of fun crafts to do while you wait. Also, the one in Katy is in the mall-- make sure to buy me something to say thanks :)
If your a Special Needs Mom, aka Rock star, you might one to check out Caring Santa in support of Autism Speaks. They have put on various times for you and your special need kids to get to meet Santa in a loving and safe place!
Or the Cows on Canvas at the Chick Fil A in Humble or KSBJ Brown Bag free concert at Chick Fil A Memorial and Dairy Ashford on Nov 16 at 6:30.
There is a really cool Polar Express ride about 2 hours away from Texas. It's not the cheapest, so I won't really go into it, but feel free to google it if you're interested. I will mention that Barnes and Noble has a Polar Express Story time complete with crafts and cocoa and a really special reading of the classic story-- and this one is totally free.
The Grinch Family Party on Nov 10th, movie tickets and crafts at Alamo Drafthouse is another event to get you in the Holiday spirit. For a great price you and your little ones can watch a movie and play some games with new friends.
La Centerra Tree Lighting November 16th at Grand
Vision Center is an annual event that gets pretty crowded, so make sure to get there early.
Speaking of the Grinch, if you are not really in the Christmas spirit check these fun events out with your family:
- Toddler Tuesday, Writers Workshop and free music lessons at Discovery Green all month long.
- I am King Michael Jackson Experience at Miller outdoor Theater on Nov 16th with featured guest MJ pro performer.
- Houston Center for Contemporary Craft has monthly crafts, this month its a bracelet making class-- go here for more information.
- Home Depot has an extra 'Building Class' for kids going on this month on November 24th. This is at any Home Depot near you, but since this is during Thanksgiving Break it might get full quick-- so get there early!
Happy Thanksgiving and see you in December!
