On Saturday morning, December 8, the jingles you hear on Jekyll Island won’t be reindeer on the rooftops, they’ll be runners hitting the road in the 7th annual CASA Jingle All the
Way 5K and One Mile Fun Run. Proceeds from this holiday-themed run with awards for top finishers, team spirit, best costume, etc. benefit CASA Glynn and CASA Camden and their hundreds of volunteers who support Southeast Georgia children who are in foster care programs. In
Glynn and Camden County there are approximately 200250 abused and neglected children in foster care at any given time because they are unable to live safely at home. The
CASA volunteers watch over and advocate for these children to make sure they move quickly through the system and they are placed in a safe, permanent home. For many children, the CASA volunteer may be the only constant adult presence during this process. Supporting CASA’s work and allowing them to help others have a happy holiday would be a welcome gift. To register for the run, go to active.com.
You won’t find the reindeer pulling Santa on the sleigh as he makes early rounds on Christmas Eve either, because he’ll be riding atop ol’ Engine 32. The St. Simons Civinettes and members of the Glynn County Volunteer Fire Department are as busy as the elves at the North Pole making preparations to escort Santa Claus on his annual Christmas Eve journey around St. Simons Island on the antique red fire truck. For more than 70 years, adults and children have been flocking to the various points where Santa stops to take last minute requests from children and hand out stockings to the little ones. Whether you come out just to wave to Santa on the lighted truck or have little ones who want to make their last pleas to be included on the “nice” list, be sure to join in this beloved island Christmas tradition. The EIL elves will be posting information about the location of the stops and estimated times of arrival on Christmas Eve, so stay in touch with us via social media.
Make your own holiday tour around St. Simons Island by hopping aboard a trolley for a Christmas lights tour. The Fendig Family began the Christmas Tour of Lights tradition on Lighthouse Trolleys and thousands have joined them each year to celebrate our community and the lights and sounds of Christmas. Sing along with Christmas carols during the 90-minute tour and bring your cameras to snap pictures of the beautifully decorated houses in the various island neighborhoods. There’s even a surprise stop with Santa Claus! Two tours are scheduled nightly from December 13-24. Reservations are required, and private bookings are also accepted; visit lighthousetrolleys.com.

Described by fans as “the next Il Divo,” Vox Fortura is bringing classical vocals back into the mainstream.
