'Santa Claus is coming to Seychelles,'  was the rumour ahead of the Christmas Carols show organised by the Office of the President at the International Conference Centre this evening.

Santa's helpers, little elves, the reindeer, angels and all the children of the Children's Homes, gathered for a magical show, which was broadcast live on national television. Santa arrived in a sleigh and after the show, showered the children with lots of presents.
