SOTO CANO AIR BASE, Honduras – About 40 children from a local orphanage sing “Joy to the World” Dec. 1 in front of the base Christmas tree near Building B-202. The children were brought on base for the tree-lighting ceremony. After the tree lighting they sang some Christmas carols, listened to the reading of “A Christmas Story” and had a surprise visit from Santa Claus, who handed out presents and candy to all the children (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt.
