At the annual Christmas Party, the very famous Santa Claus himself comes and greets the children, making them feel very special. He comes and brings presents for all of the children and their siblings that attend M.A.R.E regularly and takes pictures. The presents are for the children and siblings that are affiliated with M.A.R.E not just the general public.
