Entertainment will begin at 6 p.m. with the Tomball faculty/staff singers followed by the Lyon Elementary student choir and the college jazz ensemble. The entertainment will be held in the Beckendorf Conference Center where there will be cookies, lemonade, coffee and wassail.
Pictures with Santa will be from 5 to 8 p.m. in the Block Box Theater. The Polaroid photos are $5 each. Proceeds from the picture sales are used to provide student scholarships.
Throughout the evening, Santa’s elves will be collecting presents for Santa’s special deliveries.
