Children's Christmas Party Children from economically disadvantaged areas in Corpus Christi were treated to a Christmas Party in December by the Al Amin Shriners. Everyone enjoyed the activities which included a train ride, clowns, face painting, caricature drawings, and toy fishing. Families were served lunch and were then surprised by Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus (Jim & Mary Jane Falwell), who made sure each child received a gift.
