THOMASVILLE — Brookwood School’s senior and first grade buddy pairs celebrated Christmas with a morning full of holiday cheer at the buddy Christmas program. 

Seniors decorated mini Christmas trees with ornaments that reminded them of their buddy and maybe a piece of candy or two. As friends and family gathered in Hines-Watt Hall, buddies took the stage to share their favorite game to play on the playground, along with what each first grader hopes to get for Christmas. 

The event ended with hot chocolate on the patio of Hines-Watt and a visit from Santa Claus himself.
