One
of the Hungarian companies that normally rents out Santas for
families and business events has come up with several forms of
COVID-19-proof meetings.
They pre-record personalised messages and send them by post or
provide online sessions with Santa greeting children from his
home office with a Christmas tree and festive lights glistening
in the background.
"Which child would expect that while watching some video on a
laptop with Mom and Dad, suddenly Santa appears live and calls
them by their names," one of the Santas, Pal Pillmayer said.
"I think this will be a much greater joy and happiness this
year," said Pillmayer, who has several online meetings scheduled
for the coming days.
Janos Nemes, a pensioner and part-time Santa, who sat in a
studio for a whole day recording messages for children said he
will miss greeting them.
"I do miss the magic and the sometimes very moving personal
meetings."
