The holiday season has officially begun but it will be much different than in the past due to COVID-19. Many holiday traditions have been cancelled or modified to meet social distancing and mask requirements.
There will be NO Christmas in Scranton celebration in 2020. Many businesses hold open house, serving refreshments, drawings for door prizes and greeting customers and friends.
Youngsters will also miss the opportunity to meet Santa and Mrs Claus in Scranton. Cocoa with the Clauses attracted a large crowd of youngsters and their parents each year. But for safety reasons, the event will NOT be held in 2020.
Santa Claus assures his young friends that he is watching and listening carefully. On Christmas Eve, he will do his best to deliver their gifts — even if he and the reindeer will be wearing masks!
