Meanwhile across town at the House of Culture, Continental Airlines' staff hosted 75 children at their annual toys for Tots party. The children got snacks, an opportunity to pose with Santa, and a lucky four rode home on new bicycles. Continental's Country Manager Kim Aikman says the party is the staff's way of giving back and spreading the joy
of the season.

And this is all out of the pockets of the employees.
Kim Aikman,
"Yes. Since 9/11 it has been solely on our back and the staff decided that it was such a rewarding experience that we will continue to do it and so every year we've worked to raise funds to buy these gifts. We do it because of the feeling it gives us and also to give back to the community that has supported us throughout our sixteen years of service to Belize."
