Most part-time santa’s will not be spreading joy this year.
A few mall santa’s will have to do so, behind plexi-glass, with a bench infront of it for the kids to kid down on.
And one can still get a picture, that at the right angle, will not cast a reflection.
Not the same experience, IMO.
That is, if we don’t get a second lockdown which would cancel ALL mall santa’s, and all small businesses when this is the time of year where they will make money, break even, or go under.
