Santa Tom Kliner was inducted into the International Santa Claus Hall of Fame, a community where thousands of professional Santas, Mrs. Clauses and helpers convene.

Santa Claus put himself up for hire after learning in-person visits at the mall won’t be happening this year.

Across Canada, hundreds of professional Santas don the big red suit at malls, parties and private houses - inhabiting not only the clothes but the mystique of the magical man who delivers gifts to many millions of children around the world in a single night.
