Elephants spread Christmas cheer to school kids

Elephants in Thailand have been spreading Christmas joy by visiting local school children and handing out presents.

The four elephants, including a three-year-old baby came from Ayutthaya Elephant Palace and Royal Kraal.

They handed out dolls, balloons and snacks with their long trunks and entertained the children with special dances.

Christmas is not an official holiday in Thailand but many people celebrate some aspects of the tradition.
