Over the age of 65, a little rounder around the belly and constantly surrounded by kids.
Those characteristics might ring a bell of qualities that put one at most risk for COVID-19. Or, they might remind you of the characteristics of Jolly Old Saint Nick. The men who bring the spirit of Christmas, and are Santa to children all around the world, are the ones most at risk, but also hold one of the most important jobs of the season.
One Oklahoma Santa in particular, who goes by Santa Opa Claus in the Christmas community, is one of the many Santas who are at a higher risk this holiday season. He recently had an artificial heart valve put in which potentially puts him at risk for contracting COVID-19. The juggle of keeping himself and the community around him safe, while still keeping the magic of Christmas alive, has made this holiday season unique from any others for him.
