Santa bears gifts

As Santa called out their names local children rushed to Santa's arms to get a hug and presents Wednesday.

The children smiles beamed from ear to ear as they opened their gifts.

The members of the Rotary Club donated gifts such as bikes, clothing and toys to each child.

The children took a bus ride to the Country Club and Alice Independent School District employees waited with trailers to haul the children's bicycles back to their schools.

The children didn't let Santa leave without extra hugs and a Merry Christmas.
