Santa is making an early appearance this year. He's been self-isolating at a "summer home" in Annapolis, Maryland, and video chatting with kids to lift their spirits.
He's talked to kids from all over... California, Nebraska, Florida, New York City, as well as Maryland, making some 10 video calls a day (using FaceTime and Facebook Messenger.)
Not that you need an incentive to make sure your kids are good, right?
