When you can see Santa in Christiansburg this holiday season
CHRISTIANSBURG, VA. โ While the CDC said Santa Claus is immune from COVID-19, heโs still doing what he can to keep others safe. That means this year heโs getting a special tour of the Christiansburg area thanks to the local fire department. If you see the Christiansburg Fire Department with its lights on and sirens blaring down the road, make sure to do a double-take. The department is giving Santa a special escort this year on top of a fire truck. Seeing Santa roll down their street was the highlight for many kids bundled up braving the flurries Monday night.
