At this event, we rent out the ballroom at the Holiday Inn Sun Spree in Asheville.
When the families arrive they are greeted by Barney, Winnie the Pooh, Buzz Light Year, the Grinch, and 4 other life size characters. We have a carnival with lots and lots of prizes. At 12 noon we go into the ballroom which is transformed into a Christmas wonderland with Red and Green Balloons and white linen table clothes. During dinner the magician entertains us all with his unbelievable magical tricks.
We sing Christmas Carols as Santa Claus comes in to meet and greet the children. Before this function Santa’s helpers call all 182 children in our program and ask them what they want for Christmas. It is important for Santa to bring every child what they asked for. Watching the smiles on the children’s faces as they open up their presents is truly what the “Miracle of Christmas” is all about. Santa makes that miracle happen year around for these courageous children in our Friends of Santa Claus program!
