It’s normally the most wonderful time of the year. But for professional Santas, the coronavirus has presented major conundrums this holiday season.

Swindall is also one of the subjects in photographer Ron Cooper’s new book, "We Are Santa: Portraits and Profiles." The tome captures some of America’s most creative and devoted professionals.
"Some kids have asked for Santa to take away COVID. I say, ‘If Santa had the magic to do it, he would have,’ " said Swindall. "We need Santa and the Christmas spirit more than ever."
