Little Girl Joins Santa Claus for Breakfast so He Doesn't Have to Eat Alone

One little girl's encounter with Santa is going viral, and you'll smile once you hear the sweet reason why. Santa’s not the only one giving gifts this season.

Three-year-old Gracie Lynn loves Christmas like every other kid. When she saw a man who looked a lot like Santa Claus eating his breakfast alone at a restaurant, she decided to join him. Gracie toddled over with permission from her mom and dad, pulled up a seat, and started chatting with the jolly man with a flowing white beard, red suspenders, and glasses. It was as if the pair had  known each other for years.

As they chatted away, her father snapped a picture of the two and later asked little Gracie why she wanted to talk to Santa. She responded that she "didn't want Santa to eat all by himself." This little girl must have a very generous spirit, but I bet she had the time of her life eating with Santa, and he sure seemed to enjoy himself with little Gracie.

According to her mother, Gracie Lynn only asked Santa for one thing this year and that was for her baby brother James, who is supposed to be born in a few weeks. What a sweetheart of a girl, always thinking of others, although maybe her wish for a little brother was a little bit selfish.
