Twas the day before Christmas ...

The tree is trimmed, there's tinsel and glitter in every corner and the Happy House scene is set for Christmas.
Add 53 excited children and you can just imagine the atmosphere as everyone gears up to the big day.
With only hours to go until Santa's arrival, the kids are in for a shock. They think their beloved Papa Dave just happens to double up at Santa, but, of course, we know better...
And when Santa does drop in whilst out on his worldwide travels, their Papa will be waiting for him with them.
Gifts galore
The gifts you have been so kindly sending for your sponsor child and for other children have been arriving steadily over the weeks and we are so grateful to everyone for their kindness. You have ensured that every child will have a new outfit of clothes and a couple of other gifts when Santa delivers tomorrow.
But as you can imagine it's not possible to take pictures of every child with every item sent... you know what it will be like with 53 children opening their presents at the same time!  It would be too tall an order and we know you'll just want to kids and all the family to have fun and enjoy a happy family day. 
There will be plenty of pictures of our children having a wonderful day and Sue and the family want to say a huge thank you to all of you, our special friends, for your constant love and support throughout 2011.
Merry Christmas.
