Lids & straws are a must since 100% of the children were under three!

Reading I Believe in Santa by Diane Admanson to tie in the real meaning of the season, Jesus Christ, before the Big Guy arrived.

I definitely recommend it.

The take home favor. It read:

The symbols of Santa Claus can remind us of the true meaning of Christmas – Our Savior, Jesus Christ.

He wears red.
Wherefore are thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winevat?
Isaiah 63:2

His hair is white.
His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow.
Revelations 1:14

He comes in the night.
For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
1 Thessalonians 5:2

He loves little children.
But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me:for of such in the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 19:14

He knows we are good.
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of our Savior; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
1 Timothy 2:3,4

And He brings gifts.
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above.
James 1:17

I couldn’t get photographs of all the children! But here are the few I was able to catch!
