The Prime Minister has written to allay the fears of children across the country by confirming that Santa Claus will be ‘packing his sleigh and delivering gifts’ this year despite Covid restrictions.
Boris Johnson set the rules for Santa to follow in response to a message from the eight-year-old Monti, who had written to the prime minister asking for clarity on the subject and the help of the UK’s leading scientific minds.
“Dear Mr. Johnson, I am eight years old and I was wondering if you and the government had thought about the arrival of Santa this Christmas,” Monti wrote.
‘If we leave hand sanitizer next to the cookies, can you come over? Or will he wash his hands? I understand you are very busy, but can you and the scientists talk about this?
Johnson shared his reply letter on Twitter, adding that he had received “a lot of letters about this” and had consulted with experts on the matter.
“I made a call to the North Pole and I can tell you that Santa Claus is ready and eager to go, just like Rudolph and all the other reindeer,” wrote the prime minister.
Boris Johnson set the rules for Santa to follow in response to a message from the eight-year-old Monti, who had written to the prime minister asking for clarity on the subject and the help of the UK’s leading scientific minds.
“ I made a call to the North Pole and I can tell you that Santa Claus is ready and eager to go, just like Rudolph and all the other reindeer, ” the prime minister wrote.
“The medical director has asked me to tell him that as long as Santa behaves in the usual responsible manner and works quickly and safely, there are no risks to his or his health.”
Johnson also praised Monti’s idea of putting hand sanitizer alongside the treats left for Santa.
“ Using it yourself and washing your hands regularly is exactly the kind of thing that will put you and your friends on the nice list, ” she wrote.
Johnson is the latest leader to confirm to the nation’s children that Santa Claus will not be detained for the coronavirus.
In October, Nicola Sturgeon was forced to make a promise to Scottish children that Santa would still deliver their Christmas presents, after their top medical adviser said hopes of a traditional holiday gathering were “fiction.”
The Prime Minister joked that her national clinical director, Professor Jason Leitch, would be portrayed as the Grinch on newspaper front pages after she said families should prepare to see their loved ones at Zoom due to the coronavirus.
She tried to downplay his comments in her daily press conference today, as she came under increasing criticism for a five-level lockdown system that will be even harsher than Boris Johnson’s in England.
The Prime Minister has been hit by a wave of anger after it emerged that she wants to take a more severe approach than the Prime Minister, with more levels of restrictions to tackle the pandemic.
Sturgeon was faced with a number of questions while confronting the media, after Professor Leitch told BBC Scotland this morning that while there may be some ‘normalcy’ around Christmas, ‘we’re not going to have large family groups with several families around, that’s fiction for this year. ‘
After a question about Santas having to use Zoom in their grottoes across the country, he turned to the camera and said: ‘In Santa, if there are children watching: Santa will not be prevented from delivering his gifts on Christmas Eve, Santa is a key worker and has many magical powers that make it safe to do just that.
‘If he has to make appearances in Grotto for Zoom, that’s to keep you safe, it’s not because he’s at risk. Santa will deliver gifts around the world as normal. ‘
She added: ‘Since I’ve spent so much time responding to Jason’s comments today, I should have him dress up as the Grinch for Halloween and do a briefing to cheer everyone up.’
