Alhambra Christmas Party Algarva No. 168 held their Christmas party for the children on Sunday, at the Alhambra Hall. Everywhere you walked, you had to be careful of babies and toddlers underfoot, or avoid older children dashing around in excitement. A long table covered with paper and lots of crayons provided the, raw materials for the wee ones to sketch what they wanted from Santa, resulting in a very original mural taped to the wall. Then a real treat was in store for the children. A group of three young people from Central Catholic High in London performed a very funny clown/mime act, to the delight of all the kids. Mike Burgess, who juggled a variety of things, ,worked at the Story Book Gardens, and organized the act, complete with costumes and makeup, song and dance. They finish- ed with a great round of applause. Song sheets were passed out, and Paul Dietrich tickled the ivories while a few moms directed the kids in some rousing Christmas carols. And then, bells jingling, right from the North Pole, Santa Claus arrived, with several bags full of toys. lle'called each name, as each little tot perched on his knee to receive a lovely gift. Soon the hall was filled with laughter, toys and torn wrapping paper. Boxes of doughnuts and baked goodies were set out, to augment the cheese and crackers, pop and assorted nibbles. then everyone departed for home.
