The hall, carefully prepared down to the smallest detail, was beautifully decorated with sparkling festive ornaments and an impressive Christmas tree. Beside the tree stood a Santa Claus figure, created with great care and enthusiasm by dedicated committee members and club volunteers.

Guests were welcomed by the secretary, Toni Di Iorio, who invited everyone to take their seats and took the opportunity to outline the many activities already scheduled for the year ahead, reaffirming the importance of active participation and the strong sense of community that has always defined the club.

The afternoon opened with a particularly moving moment: a living nativity scene featuring the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of members, dressed in period costumes and taking part in the re-enactment of the Nativity.

The scene struck an emotional chord not only with the children, but also with parents, grandparents and great-grandparents, creating an atmosphere rich in tradition and feeling.

This was followed by a generous and much-appreciated lunch, accompanied by musical interludes that added to the cheerful, convivial mood. Sandra Begazo and Toni Di Iorio also organised a free raffle, with prizes donated by the Molise Club that were met with great enthusiasm.

One of the most anticipated moments of the day, especially for the children, was the arrival of Santa Claus, who handed out gifts to young and old alike, spreading smiles and festive cheer.

The celebration concluded with the traditional coffee, assorted sweets and sparkling wine, enjoyed in a warm spirit of friendship and togetherness.

President Tony Perfetto warmly thanked all members for their participation, especially the volunteers, highlighting how essential their contribution is to the success of events like this.

The Molise Club extended its best wishes to all members, their families and friends for the festive season just passed and for 2026, hoping this year will continue to be marked by continuity, tradition and the strong sense of unity the club is committed to preserving.
