Secret Santa Shops with Local Children

4 January 2008

This Santa isn't so secret as he helps a child shop for gifts for her family

Before Christmas, Santa helped local children select the perfect gift for family members at Apple Valley Wal-Mart. Santa's helpers assisted with the shopping and gift wrapping too. Some of the gift items included tools for dad, candles for mom, and toys or movies for brothers and sisters. All gifts were kept a secret until Christmas Day when the children watched with excitement as their gifts were opened by their family. This is one Santa program that teaches the spirit of giving!

The Annual Secret Santa Program is sponsored by Apple Valley Wal-Mart, Apple Valley Ranchos Water Company and Apple Valley Fire Protection District in conjunction with Apple Valley Unified School District.
