Christmas came early yesterday for 15 beneficiaries of the Children's Cancer Foundation and their relatives and friends, as singing sensation Nathan Hartono (above, left) joined them in a craft session at the Flower Dome in Gardens by the Bay. Hartono and the children, aged six to 12 years old, took along an item that was meaningful to them and placed it inside a transparent bauble, which they hung on a Christmas tree. Hartono also serenaded the crowd with a yuletide classic, The Christmas Song, beside an 11m Christmas Tower.
