Summit of Uptown Hosts Breakfast with Santa Dec. 13

Treat yourself and the whole family with a fabulous breakfast buffet and a visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus on Dec. 13. #summitofuptown

Discover the spirit of Christmas at Summit’s Breakfast with Santa on Dec. 13

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus and he’s coming to the annual Christmas Open House Saturday, Dec. 13, at The Summit of Uptown, 10 N. Summit (at Touhy) in Park Ridge. The entire community is invited to join family and friends at the bountiful breakfast buffet from 9 to 11 a.m.

As guests vote for their favorite Christmas tree decorated by children from 14 area schools and organizations and bring non-perishable food items for the local food pantry, they can discover for themselves the real spirit of Christmas. And just as 8-year-old Virginia O’Hanlon found out more than a hundred years ago when she asked her father if Santa Claus was real, his spirit lives on forever as love, generosity and devotion in the hearts of everyone—no matter what their age.

Admission is $12.50 for adults and children 8 and up, $10 for adults and children 8 and up who are family members of Summit residents, and $6 for all children ages 4 through 7. For reservations, call 847-825-1161, ext 129, by Wednesday, Dec. 10. Seating is limited. Voting on the winning Christmas tree will continue through New Year’s Day and can be done in person or on Facebook.
