Oh, yes, the holiday cheer is in full force, and The Manahawkin Mart Shoppes are getting in on the festive action with a new event for this year, Christmas at the Mart.

Scheduled for 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 17, at 657 East Bay Ave. in Manahawkin, Christmas at the Mart will feature pictures with Santa, children’s activities, discounts, freebies and giveaways. But the best part is it will function as a food drive.
