Lisa Haynos opened the doors of Bridge Street Family Restaurant to a rush of families looking forward to having breakfast with Santa and Mrs. Claus Dec. 14.

“We came in from the North Pole and wanted to get breakfast,” the Christmas duo said as they arrived at the eatery, 215 Bridge St., Catasauqua.

The deal Haynos worked out with Santa was free breakfast if he and his wife talked to the kids. The Clauses quickly agreed.

Santa went from table to table, talking to each of the families while they enjoyed their breakfast.

He filled up his list quickly and gave a hearty laugh as he took off for Walnutport to continue spreading good cheer.
