ODESSA--Join the Odessa community as they celebrate with a Kids’ Christmas Party, Sunday, Dec. 10. The event takes place at the Odessa Fire Department and is filled with laughter, fun, and holiday cheer.
The event will run from 1 to 3 p.m. and families can gather to enjoy cookie decorating, face painting, photo opportunities with Santa (for kids and adults), and more. The children will also have the chance to write and mail letters to Santa and see the fire trucks.
Linda Siptrott, associate member of the Odessa Fire Department described the Kids’ Christmas Party as something that brings not only joy to the children but also provides an opportunity for neighbors to connect, share stories, and strengthen the bonds that make Odessa a special place to call home.
The highlight of the event is always the special appearance by Santa Claus himself, who takes time from his busy schedule to listen to the wishes of the children and give them some early Christmas gifts.
