All throughout the charity event where newbie Sherlyn Chopra, dressed as Santa Claus, distributed gifts, sang "Jingle Bells" and narrated jokes to around 400 under-privileged kids of the 'Hamara Foundation' NGO this week, she giggled and laughed and laughed and giggled and giggled and laughed.

So much so, the abounding happiness was completely infectious. Along with the kids, even the organizers, the peons and media persons present got thoroughly engaged in a laugh riot. It was like a magnified Christmas Laughter Club.

SIDELIGHTS:

· The male Santa wears Pajamas while the female Santa wears short pants. Or at least that is what Santa Sherlyn dressed in the red velvet hot pants told the kids.

· Santa Sherlyn carried quite a few gifts in her sack such as toothpastes, lunch boxes, towels, colour pencil sets, soft toys, shirts, watches, notebooks, pens and cakes. The kids didn't stop asking for more! She's now planning to get herself a magic wand.

· The kids could barely pronounce the name Santa Sherlyn. They kept calling her Santa Sholay.

· Santa Sherlyn asked the kids for a kiss or hug in return for the gifts. A lil girl walked upto her and said she was confused and didn't know whether to plant a kiss on Santa's cheeks or to hug her. Santa Sherlyn quickly kissed and hugged the little angel.

· While Santa Sherlyn was giggling and laughing with the kids, one of the lil boys whispered in her ear, "Are you Bipasha?". She held him close and whispered back in his tiny ear, "Are you John ?"
