Christmas 2020 was different. It was a time of staying home and staying healthy. Mrs. Claus and I were very concerned for the health and safety of children all around the world, but we were also sad to think we wouldn’t get to visit with everyone. That’s when we decided to invite everyone to our home at the North Pole…virtually!
What wonderful times we had! We were able to sit and chat with children and their families, see all the family pets, and hear so many wonderful Christmas wishes!
Now we look ahead to Christmas 2021. Things are improving; restrictions are lifting in many parts of the world, and it looks like most everything could be back to normal in time for the holidays! Santa and Mrs. Claus are fully vaccinated and looking forward to getting out and about to visit with everyone.
Just the other day, Mrs. Claus and I were talking. We were a little sad that we wouldn’t be having anyone visit us at the North Pole this year. But then I said “Why not? We can come out and visit with the children just like in years past, but why not also continue the virtual visits to our home and my workshop?”
So that is what we will do! This Christmas, you will indeed see Santa around your town – opening the Christmas season, in parades, sitting for pictures, at parties and celebrations. But you will also have the opportunity to visit with Santa virtually at special times throughout the Christmas season!!
In the coming weeks, I will write more about virtual visits and how you can be a part of them! So be on the lookout for upcoming posts!
Christmas 2021 may very well be the best one ever!!
