Santa Claus is Coming to Town for Breakfast

Santa Claus is coming to — the mall? He still has a toy factory at the North Pole, so he doesn't have much of a shopping list. Instead, Santa is inviting area children to share breakfast with him at The Great Mall in Milpitas on Saturday, Dec. 1.

Mr. Claus will be at The Great Mall food court from 9-10 a.m. The event includes holiday craft activities, giveaways and more.

The Stanford Shopping Center will host another Breakfast with Santa on Dec. 8, from 8-10 a.m.

Simon Malls, which owns both properties, is also running a "Cutest Santa Photo Contest" on Facebook through Dec. 14. Just so Rover won't feel left out, there's also a "Cutest Santa Pet" contest.
