VAN — Children in Van were grinning from ear to ear on Saturday because they got an early visit from “Jolly Ole Saint Nick.” KETK reports the Lone Star Santas took to Van over the weekend to bring some much needed cheer in the wake of their disaster. With a convoy of toys, the Santas set up shop at Van Middle School. They handed out toys and presents to children affected by the twisters. The Santas said they wanted to restore a little bit of joy into the lives of little ones and continue to spread joy.
“The kids here in Van today have been so excited,” said Doug Portwood from Lone Star Santas. “They come in the door and automatically their little faces start to brighten up. They start to get a smile, and they just are very excited to see Santa.” The Lone Star Santas said they saw more than 400 children at the event. The organization planned to travel to help the Houston community next.
