Friday morning, a group of lucky second grade students from and Elementary Schools enjoyed an early Christmas present: a trip to the Philadelphia Police Department's to meet police officers, Mummers, a clown, and even the man in red himself.

This year marks the 43rd annual 5th District Holiday Party for local second graders, according to Officer Charlie Kline.  Through generous giving from local businesses and residents, the department was able to give gifts to each of the 50 kids invited to attend. 

Check out the photo gallery above for shots from the day.
