South Roxana is gearing up to host an extraordinary Annual Christmas Event for Kids. Scheduled from 1 to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 14, 2024, at the South Roxana Village Hall, this event is set to be a heartwarming celebration that will make the holiday season truly special for children and families.

Bringing the Community Together

This event is made possible through the incredible collaboration of several local organizations. The South Roxana Dads Club, South Roxana Women’s Auxiliary, American Legion, and American Legion Women’s Auxiliary have come together with a shared goal of supporting the children and families of South Roxana and celebrating the holiday season as a united community.

Meeting Santa Claus

One of the highlights of the event is the opportunity for kids to meet Santa Claus and take photos. This magical encounter creates memories that will last a lifetime. As children sit on Santa's lap and share their wishes, they are filled with joy and excitement. The photos taken during this encounter will be cherished mementos of the holiday season.

Children can't wait to share their dreams and hopes with Santa, and the look of pure delight on their faces is truly priceless. It's a moment that brings out the child in all of us and makes the holiday season even more special.

The Santa Claus meet-and-greet is not just about taking photos; it's about creating a sense of wonder and magic. The entire atmosphere is filled with holiday cheer, and children are transported to a world of Christmas magic.

Enjoying Hot Cocoa and Food

After meeting Santa, kids can indulge in hot cocoa and delicious food. The warm aroma of the hot cocoa fills the air, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Kids can sip on their cocoa while enjoying a variety of treats, making the event a truly enjoyable experience.

The food served at the event is not only delicious but also represents the spirit of the holiday season. From traditional holiday treats to savory snacks, there is something for everyone to enjoy. It's a time when families can come together and share in the joy of the season.

The hot cocoa and food stations are a popular gathering place for families. Kids can make new friends while enjoying their treats, and parents can take a moment to relax and enjoy the holiday atmosphere.

Creating Fun Crafts

At the crafting stations, kids can let their creativity run wild. They can create Christmas ornaments, bird feeders, and coloring pages, adding a personal touch to their holiday decorations. These crafts not only provide entertainment but also allow kids to express their creativity and imagination.

The crafting stations are filled with a variety of materials and tools, allowing kids to explore different art forms. From painting and gluing to threading and assembling, there are endless possibilities for creativity.

Taking home a goodie bag filled with holiday treats is an added bonus for the kids. These goodie bags are filled with delicious treats and small gifts, making the event even more memorable. It's a small gesture that shows the organizers' appreciation for the children and families who attend.

The Village of South Roxana invites all residents to join in the festivities, make lasting memories, and enjoy the company of friends and neighbors.
