Scenes from hours of family fun in Woodstock
Games, crafts and a personal visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus highlighted the family fun in the NBCC Woodstock gymnasium on Saturday, Dec. 2.
In what has become an annual tradition to ignite the holiday celebration, the NBCC Woodstock student union presented Wake Up Santa from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday.
Santa and Mrs. Claus, comfortably sitting in front of the Christmas tree on stage, shared laughs with children, posed for photos and carefully made a list of the young one’s Christmas wishes.
NBCC students offered several game and craft tables throughout the gymnasium and served hot chocolate.
The event included stations to compose a letter to Santa, draw and paint Christmas scenes, create a variety of crafts and play games.
College students Muideen Raheem and Jay Ar Fuentes oversaw a ring-toss game, admittedly allowing the younger children to find the easiest way to get the ring over the reindeer’s antlers.
Fuentes said watching happy and excited children play games and meet Mr. and Mrs. Claus is an excellent way for him and his fellow students to spend a Saturday morning.
