GREENSBURG, Pa. — Santa Claus was busy this weekend, hearing kids’ Christmas wishes at the Westmoreland Mall.

The mall is offering socially distanced visits, including masks and a bench, where kids can sit at a safe distance from Santa to get their pictures taken.

Parents told Channel 11 they’re happy the tradition could continue.

Santa’s elves also disinfect the bench where the kids sit after each visit.
