Santa (a.k.a. Richard Owen of Annandale) with Kyle, age 2, from Springfield.

Santa’s been having breakfast with kids all over town in the past few weeks. On Dec. 19, he showed up for the 14th annual Breakfast with Santa event at Magill’s Famous Pizza & Buffet on Little River Turnpike in Annandale.

For many locals, Magill’s annual holiday buffet is a family tradition.

Santa couldn’t do it all without Mrs. Claus.
