"Breakfast with Santa" returns to Tyndall Air Force Base tomorrow, Dec. 6 from 8 - 11 a.m.

The program, which brings military families together to share in holiday festivities, will feature a pancake breakfast for parents and children, arts and crafts, and a meet and greet with Santa Claus himself.

More than 700 military parents and children will gather to celebrate the holiday season on Tyndall AFB during the event.

"Many families of deployed service members will be celebrating Christmas for the first time without their loved one this year," said Ms. Sarah English, event organizer. "The 'Breakfast with Santa' event is meant to bring all families together to share in the spirit of the holidays, and to provide a cheerful environment for those who will be separated from loved ones this Christmas."

Each child will receive a gift from Santa during the event. Gifts have been donated from local sponsors for the event.
