THE third annual Santa Day was held at 4ever Photo Studio in Dunmurry recently.
It was all hands on deck for the week leading to the event with all the staff organising and wrapping the gifts for all 118 children who attended the event.
The children rushed to the drawing tables to draw a picture for Santa while the mums and dads enjoyed some mince pies, sausages and light refreshments.
All the masterpieces of artwork were pegged around the studio for everyone to see. Santa was so impressed he decided he would look at them all closely next week and give out some.
At the end of the evening Naimh, who is a representative of the Northern Ireland Children's Hospice, called to the studio to collect the money raised. 'All our customers family and friends gave very generously and we raised a total of £820 for the charity," said Annetter Burke from 4ever Photo Studios. "We hope our little Santa Day made a lot of children happy to see Santa, a lot of mums happy to get the Santa Picture for their memory box and helps some sick and disabled children use the facilities of the much needed Northern Ireland Children's Hospice."
