The CERN children’s Christmas Party, bringing together the children of employed members of personnel aged between five and seven for an afternoon filled with magic has taken place every year ever since the creation of the Staff Association.

This year the celebration took place on Saturday, December 2^sd and welcomed no fewer than 170 children during the afternoon, over two sessions. The children were carried away to a world full of humour, interactivity and originality thanks to the show “Le Père Noël perd la boule”.

The children were then treated to some Christmas snacks; we would like to thank Novae for their help and generous contribution to this great event.

While children were all busy enjoying their treats, Santa Claus himself made a special appearance distributing gifts to all children.

The Staff Association would like to thank him warmly for taking time out of his busy schedule to visit CERN and bring happiness.

Finally, we would like to thank the parents for their precious collaboration and help.

Wishing you all a happy holiday season, looking forward to seeing you next year!
