16th annual Santa Brigade

CHESTER, Pa. (WPVI) -- Young and old were on a full-on holiday mission Friday in Chester, Delaware county.

Santa himself showed up at the Chester Community Charter School for the 16th annual Santa Brigade.

Volunteers handed out more than 18 thousand dollars in gifts for each student at the school.

Organizers say its important that the boys and girls feel included in the celebration.

They even got to deliver their Christmas wish lists to the big man in red.

There was also a party, plenty of treats and smiles all around.
