Santas in Alabama need a little extra magic this year (and maybe a plexiglass shield)

To be Santa or not to be Santa?
In 2020, that’s the question for jolly old elves across the country, as they weigh the pros and cons of portraying Kriss Kringle during the coronavirus pandemic.
There are risks attached to the role, even for the heartiest of men, and some of the traditional Santa tasks such as shaking hands, hugging admirers, posing for photos and paying close attention to kids whispering in their ears can seem downright dangerous as the virus continues to spread.

After everything that has happened in 2020, everyone needs a little holiday cheer.
The holiday season this year ramped up early, with many people decorating their homes and putting up their trees early; some even before Thanksgiving. The run on Christmas decorations showed with empty shelves at big-box stores and Christmas tree farms selling out. Celebrate the holiday season with Noccalula Falls and the City of Gadsden at Christmas at the Falls. Enjoy millions of lights throughout the park with spectacular views from the paved walking trails or from the vantage of a ride on the park’s train. Open now through January 2 from 5-9p.m. weekdays and 3-9 p.m. on weekends. Must buy tickets online. Closed both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
