HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — This year you can visit Santa without ever leaving your home!
One Huntsville man, by the name of Bob Boyer, has turned his garage into Santa's North Pole workshop.
Families or companies can visit him virtually via Zoom calls. Boyer says a zoom invitation would be sent by Santa.
The visit is interactive and personalized.
It's about fifteen minutes long, and parents would fill out a questionnaire about their kids.
"The best part about it, there is a gigantic monitor here in the workshop and one of the features that comes with the visit is that we take a picture together. I stand next to the monitor and the person on the other end of the Zoom call is filling up the monitor and we have a really nice picture at the end of it," says Boyer.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has a plethora of information on how to protect yourself and other from the coronavirus.
The virus can easily spread from person to person, so the CDC recommends you stay at least 6-feet apart from people not in your household. The virus is spread through respiratory droplets that are produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, breaths or talks, according to the CDC. Because of this, the CDC recommends you wear a cloth facemask when around others and in public.
Additionally, the CDC recommends that you frequently wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
Symptoms to look out for include fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, a sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting and diarrhea, according to the CDC.
