Michael Welcomed the Kids at Neverland

The day before, about 200 children visited Neverland. As Michael walked up on foot from the car, he called out loudly: "I hope you have a wonderful day. Merry Christmas. I love you." When one of the kids shouted, "We love you," Michael replied, "I love you even more," and then went back inside. During this brief meeting, Michael was smiling and waving to the children. It seemed like he was going to come back to play with the kids, but then he got into his car and left Neverland. Raymond Benne, Michael’s spokesperson, said that he had decided to surprise the children by appearing himself. He also said that charities bring the children to Neverland to play at least three times a month. Neverland has several rivers and waterfalls, as well as a lake. Yesterday, two elephants, a camel, a baby llama, and several flamingos were also brought in to entertain the children. Michael also arranged for Santa Claus to be there. The children had lunch at Neverland and were treated with sweets and popcorn. They also entertained themselves with video games. Benne added: "Usually, Mr. Jackson isn’t here all the time. We have these kinds of programs every day. He wants to surprise the children. He has devoted his entire life to children and charitable work. Source: Reuters / AP
