Mrs. Santa lead the prayer followed by the carolers and Santa singing “Away in the Manger”, followed by entertaining games for all age groups, dance sessions and carol singing in between sessions. The whole program was well organized and a good entertaining one for the kids which would not have been a success if not for the prefect sound, music and lighting done by Anand D`souza.
