After the meeting, the annual Christmas party was held. The children and their parents arrived at 2:00 p.m. in spite of the cold and windy weather. Santa came in with his "Ho! Ho! Ho!" and the children were excited. All the children enjoyed the gifts from the Home Office, especially the crazy balls and flashlights. Santa had a coloring contest and listened to the requests of the children. Ernest Kedves provided the Christmas music, and a delicious lunch and goodies were served. All enjoyed the wonderful get-together. A special thank you goes to the Home Office for the special gifts and calendars. We hope all our members enjoyed a blessed Christmas.
