Santa shortage in the U.S.

It’s not just holiday presents that are facing supply chain issues this year.

The United States is once again facing a Santa shortage as demand for a visit from jolly St. Nick skyrockets post-pandemic.

According to HireSanta.com – there’s only one available Santa for every 20 requests that come in.

And that’s leaving some with the equivalent of coal in their stockings.
