Those who find gigs must adhere to strict safety and hygiene protocols, including the use of masks and thick gloves indoors and the avoidance of handshakes. They also need to maintain social distance, especially when distributing gifts. Shorter visits are recommended to reduce the risk of exposure.
In Finland, Santa Claus traditionally visits children at home by distributing gifts and treats. Families often hire a professional to love the character.
Most likely, this tradition will be kept alive this year, albeit with a slight twist. More and more families are opting for Santa’s virtual greetings, and many are demanding that gifts be left outside the front door.
