Breakfast With Santa

Annual Eustis Event

By Alysa Hritzik, Publisher of North Lake Macaroni Kid December 5, 2018


Some of my favorite photos of my children are those involving Santa and some adorable smiles! I always wanted to capture one of them as babies or toddlers screaming in terror as they sat on Santa's lap but, unfortunately, both of my children have always loved the jolly old man in the red suit. #badmom 

Each year, we make the trek to the Mall at Millenia to see who my kids call "the real Santa" and wait in line for hours.  However, a few years ago we began having pancakes with Santa at a much more convenient location that includes a FREE photo op. Bingo! I thought I could stop the Millenia trips. Nope.  Now we have two Santa traditions. #brilliantmom

Breakfast with Santa at First Presbyterian Church of Eustis is guaranteed to take the stress out of the Santa photo for you and your family.  I promise! The breakfast tickets are inexpensive at $5 per person and children under age one are free. All proceeds benefit a local ministry for mothers and children - MOPS. Pancakes, sausage, orange juice, coffee and other treats are served from 8 - 11am in the Fellowship Hall which is decorated like a winter wonderland!

 Last year at this breakfast, my daughter asked Santa for an iPhone.  She was seven. His reaction was priceless and exactly what I had hoped it would be. So, Santa may or may not be in parents' back pockets at this particular event.  Just saying, she didn't get an iPhone!

I'm looking forward to it this Saturday and I hope you have time to join in the fun! North Lake Macaroni Kid is a sponsor of the event and we would love to see you there!

Saturday, Dec. 8th   /   8 - 11am
