In the midst of the holiday hustle and bustle, Henry House Assisted Living hosted an old-fashioned Christmas party to honor a special visitor on the afternoon of Dec. 17. Santa Claus, the jolly old elf himself, visited residents and others at the facility. Santa and Mrs. Claus were accompanied by a group of carolers from the Blanco Masonic Lodge, the Order of the Eastern Star, and even a few elves. A gingerbread house greeted attendees at the front door.
