A relaxed happy atmosphere was created as the many volunteers flawlessly fulfilled every task and enjoyed their activities.
The centre was full of laughter and merriment from beginning to end.
The tables were decorated with floral centrepieces and balloons.
And, the crowd was entertained by musicians and singing as they settled ready for a feast.
The two-course meal, being chicken and ham with an scrumptious salad, was followed with pudding and custard or ice-cream and fruit.
This left everyone feeling very satisfied and a little lethargic, which did not dampen the enthusiasm and excitement created by the arrival of Santa who gave a beautiful gift to each child.
The organisers are so very appreciative and grateful to the volunteers who came together, sharing their gifts and abilities to create a wonderful jolly Christmas Day.
The lunch on December 25, 2015, is the 10th anniversary celebration with the hope of something extra special happening.
Christmas lunches that are offered differ in each city and town.
They cater to different needs and circumstances.
The Singleton Samaritans Christmas Lunch is offered to anyone who would like to come alone.
Folk who are single, couples, families, anyone who would like to share their day with us we would like to share a meal with them.
Of course, volunteers are always accepted.
