Buffalo, N.Y. -- Dozens of military families spent Sunday celebrating the holidays at the Connecticut Street Armory.

Santa Claus visited with families of the 153rd Troop Command Brigade and handed out gifts to the children.

The party is part of Time Warner Cable's 'Holiday Hopes and Happenings' initiative.
Time Warner Cable - the parent company of YNN - has teamed up with Operation Tribute to help distribute more than 35,000 toys to military families in New York, Maine, New Jersey, and Ohio.

Operation Tribute is made up of volunteers who collect, wrap, and distribute holiday gifts.
