Macy's Cancels Santa Claus
[DAILYWIRE] Macy’s canceled their nearly 160-year-old tradition of hosting Santa Claus in their midtown Manhattan store because of COVID-19.More than a quarter of a million people typically shuffle through the store’s elaborate Santaland each Christmas season, but the close quarters of the attraction have rendered it impossible in the age of social distancing, according to The News Agency that Dare Not be Named.

Santa will also not be appearing in the Macy’s in reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel...
or the Socialist paradise of San Francisco
...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964...
, though he will be making an appearance at the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, which has also had to undergo adjustments to comply with health guidelines.

Macy’s is offering a virtual Santaland experience on its website, however. "Moving to a virtual engagement will safely bring the magic of Santa Claus to children of all ages this year," Macy’s told the AP.

Many big malls are keeping their Santa displays, the AP reported, but children will be forced to maintain a six-foot distance from him.

Santa Claus is not the only holiday tradition to have been upended by the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)

pandemic. Halloween has also been spoiled in places such as Beverly Hills, which has banned trick-or-treating, trunk-or-treating, and giving candy to anyone outside of one’s family.
