NEW ORLEANS (WGNO)- The Santa Claus of the South known as Papa Noel made his way to The Ritz-Carlton this morning for their “Breakfast with Papa Noel”.

Kids, along with their parents enjoyed omlettes, bacon, eggs, waffles, and other delicious food.  They all got the chance to make their own cookies, do arts-n-crafts, and listen to story time about Papa Noel, who rides a boat down the Mississippi with alligators instead of reindeer leading the way.

Papa Noel will be at The-Ritz Carlton again tomorrow and on Christmas Eve at 11 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. for cookies and tea!
