Santa Claus had an opportunity to talk one-on-one with many area children about their Christmas lists on Sunday.

Blue Ridge Communications sponsored the sixth annual Breakfast With Santa at Penn's Peak in Jim Thorpe.According to Julianne Farina, Blue Ridge Communications spokeswoman, organizers took around 330 reservations, split between two seatings, for the event.Guests had the choice of coming at 9 or 11 a.m.A portion of the proceeds from the event goes to the Blue Ridge Chapter of Dream Come True."I think it's been another great success," Farina said. "The kids are having a great time. The food is magnificent and it's a very festive atmosphere."Santa and Mrs. Claus sat on stage greeting each child who wanted to talk to them and even some who were skeptical.A conversation with Santa was serious business for Alex McKinney of Bethlehem.McKinney said he told Santa what he wanted for Christmas, but when asked by the media, he changed his tune."I can't tell you," he said. "That's between me and Santa."Sunday's event was a family affair as many grandparents and great-grandparents took the chance to see the smile on their grandson or granddaughter's face when they met Santa."I think it's a wonderful event," said James Riley of Jim Thorpe, who was there with his two grandchildren. "We've come before, and Santa really engages with the children. It's a great way to start off a Sunday morning."It's the repeat guests, Farina said, who she notices each year."I see a lot of familiar faces and loyal people," she said. "A lot of people come back, and I'd like to thank them as well as everyone else who continually make this event a success."Last year's event raised between $450 and $500 for Dream Come True.
