It was an early Christmas for many families at San Anton school today where the annual one day Christmas market was organised.
Typical Christmas gifts and decorations, as well as more original ones, could be bought from wooden stalls which were set up for the purpose.
Traditional festive sweets, such as mulled wine, cocoa and imbuljuta, were also available.
Children were able to meet Malta`s official Santa Claus giving him their wish list while others formed a live crib.
Activities included storytelling, art and craft workshops by renowned artists C.S. Laurence and Graham Woodall, letter writing to Santa, visits to Santas`s Grotto and baking Ginger Bread Biscuits.
