Toy-maker Playmobil organised a Breakfast with Santa event to bring smiles to children’s faces. The first such event was held in December 2001 with the aim of alleviating children’s shock and trauma at the events of 9/11. Thirteen years later the idea has evolved into a full-fledged tradition of the company.

Marketing and sales manager Anna Agius said: “We realise that without children’s contribution, Playmobil would not be half of what it is today. For this, we thank them.”
