The second annual In Lieu of Neighbor Gifts party in Cedar Hills was a heartwarming celebration of giving and community. Instead of exchanging traditional holiday treats, neighbors joined forces to support life-saving campaigns by donating to their favorite charities—a beautiful way to spread the true spirit of the season. 🎁❤️
The evening was filled with laughter, joy, and plenty of holiday magic. 🎄✨ As guests sang Santa Claus is Coming to Town, the crowd erupted with cheers when Santa Metro 🎅 made his grand entrance, delighting children and adults alike.

Storytime was a highlight of the night, with excited little ones eagerly stepping in to help read Twas the Night Before Christmas. The sing-along 🎶 was equally spirited, with everyone belting out holiday classics like Deck the Halls, Jingle Bells, and Silent Night.

Around the room, tables were decorated with coloring pages of Santa 🎨🎅 and Christmas trees 🎄, where children (and even a few adults) happily added their creative touches. Guests sipped on rich hot cocoa ☕ and enjoyed festive treats 🍪, adding a cozy charm to the evening.
It was a magical night filled with generosity, laughter, and togetherness. We can’t wait to gather again next year to continue spreading joy and making a difference in our community!
