Emily Newham, front, and Gracie Tyson, both 7, are all smiles as they make their own hot chocolate at the festive event, held at the Ag Center.

  Christmas Eve was the big night to leave the cookies and milk out for Santa, but local children enjoyed some pre-Christmas Eve cookies with the Jolly Old Elf himself on Dec. 3 at the Bulloch County Agricultural Complex.

Cookies were laid out for the children, and they enjoyed a craft activity as well. Children were able to make a reindeer, as well as their own hot chocolate. They also enjoyed delicious cupcakes.

Santa himself was on hand, and the kids got their last minute wishes whispered in his ear. For those who wanted to put things in writing, there was a mailbox on site, directly linked to the North Pole.
