1. Cooking for Christmas. The holiday season is full of cherished memories: decorating the tree, watching the first snowfall, and baking Christmas cookies. At Christmas Cooking, December 12, 4-5:30P at the Wheaton Park District Community Center (1777 S.

Parents, please join your child for the last 15 minutes. Ages 4 to 12. Instructor is Linda Jones. Register online.
2. Santa's little helpers. We know holiday shopping is stressful, and we're here to help. With Santa's Workshop for Tykes on December 14, moms and dads can do last-minute shopping while children have fun making keepsake holiday crafts at Toohey Park (1900 Orchard Rd.). All supplies included. Ages 4 to 7. Instructors are Miss Tena and Miss Dina. Register online for 9A-11P or 1-3P, December 14.

At North Pole Party Express, December 16, 6-9P, hop aboard for a magical journey of imagination to the North Pole. Wear your favorite pajamas and listen to the classic story by Chris Van Allsburg, then write a letter to Santa, have a cookie and hot chocolate, and see the Big Man himself.
