Holiday at the Rancho

Local wintertime tradition
Holiday at the Rancho Dec. 7 

Blending
holiday spirit with a bit of western history, the City of Carlsbad will
celebrate the season at its Holiday at the Rancho event Saturday, Dec. 7, from
5 to 8 p.m., at Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park at 6200 Flying L.C. Lane. Take part in the tree lighting ceremony, cookie
decorating, face painting and pony rides. Write your own letter to Santa and create wooden gift tags, ornaments and more. Get some holiday
shopping done at the craft boutique or tour the Hacienda. The evening will also
feature a very special visit by Santa himself who will light the 14-foot
tree. Bring a blanket and a chair and finish the evening gathered around
the giant outdoor movie
screen for the fun, family film, “Elf." The Carlsbad teen program, L.I.T.E.
will sell food and popcorn for the movie.  Presale tickets are
$5 per person and available at all City of Carlsbad community centers through
Dec. 6. Tickets are $8 at the door. Children 3 and
