Local MP Alan Mak has taken part in the annual Community Carol Service at St Faith’s Church in Havant.
He attends every year, and was pleased to join residents to sing Christmas carols and celebrate the birth of Christ in a special service led by Rector of St Faith's Canon Tom Kennar.
Mr Mak also gave a Bible reading about the three wise men going to see the baby Jesus and offer him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.
The service featured performances from the Solent Male Voice Choir, the St Faith's Choir and Faith In Harmony, a group of young singers from Bosmere Junior School.
There was a special surprise for all the children when Santa Claus arrived on his sleigh to wish everyone a merry Christmas.
Mr Mak said: "I was delighted to take part in the Community Carol Service at St Faith's Church again this year. It was a lovely occasion, with some beautiful singing to get us all into the festive spirit."
