Santa and His Elves Brighten Ambassador Holiday Party

The Ambassador Holiday party was extra special this year thanks to Santa and his elves. Manny’s Uptown Tex-Mex Restaurant in Addison hosted the annual celebration on Sunday, December 11^th.  Ambassadors Michael, Stella, Nataly, Alec, Roberto, Roger, John, Fausto and Randall along with their moms, dads, sisters and brothers were the guests of honor.

Several groups of Santa’s elves had been busy shopping and wrapping gifts to make sure all the kids got everything on their list. Each Ambassador along with their siblings sent a wish list to Santa with 3 things they each wanted for Christmas.   WOKC had several groups of shopping elves this year that wanted to help:  Dallas Fit Chicks, Young Men’s Service League of HPHS and Girl Scout Troop 8994 from Centennial Elementary in Plano.  A local business networking group, Team Networking, put together gifts for the Ambassador parents with certificates for dinner, movies and a night out.   When the families walked into the party, presents were piled high waiting for them thanks to these wonderful volunteers!

The Girl Scout Elves also organized the party games, prizes and goody bags and were on-hand at the party dressed as Santa’s elves to play games and hand out prizes to the families.  The “Candy Cane Walk” game was a big hit as was “Pin the Nose on Rudolph”.   After enjoying a delicious Tex-Mex buffet catered by Manny’s, Santa arrived to hand out presents for everyone. 

After the food, fun and presents at Manny’s, the Ambassador families were invited to stop by Madeline and Woody Hickman’s Holiday fantasy home for a tour.  Each room is decorated with a special theme: There is a penguin room, train room, Disney room, nutcracker room, western room and more with over 20 Christmas trees …. Even an upside down Christmas tree! 

Thanks to everyone who helped make this year’s Ambassador Holiday Party extra special for our families.
