St. Matthews was bustling with Christmas spirit last week as Santa came to the library and elves were hiding at the museum!
On Thursday, December 4, 2025, at 4 PM, the Calhoun County Library came together with the Calhoun County Museum to have the best Christmas event possible! Starting at 4 PM, Santa came to the library to see all the boys and girls from the county. We’re not sure where he parked his sleigh, but we heard his sleigh bells before he made his grand entrance. Santa came jingling around the corner and greeted everyone; he then began visiting with each and every little one and took pictures with everyone. After they took pictures, kids enjoyed making custom ornaments and other crafts. Then everyone got a special gingerbread cookie and hot chocolate with whipped cream, sprinkles, and peppermint. We went all out!
After visiting with Santa, it was time to go to the museum for more fun to continue over there! Pesky little elves made their way into the exhibits and we needed help trying to find them all. The museum also took up all of the letters to Santa in case you forgot to give them to Santa when you took pictures. To make sure that every person was able to make it to both locations, we had a reindeer shuttle going every 15 minutes to drop off and pick up.
Porkchop Productions performed Holly Saves Christmas at 5:30 PM and 7 PM at the Calhoun County Museum. In the play, Santa Claus came down with a cold and couldn’t deliver gifts so Christmas was canceled! Oh no! Little Elf Holly couldn’t let that happen so she did everything in her power to make sure we could still have Christmas! We won’t give too much away, but we wanted to let you know that Porkchop Productions gave us a chance to reflect on the fact that Christmas isn’t just about presents. It is about spending time with people you love and making wishes come true!
This whole Calhoun County Christmas event was free to attend and we are so glad that we had tons of people have fun with us to celebrate the upcoming holidays. If you took pictures with Santa and are placing them on social media, please tag us! We would love to see them!
