If your kids go to get their picture taken at the mall with Santa this year, you may notice something new at the display: Hand sanitizer. At Cottonwood Mall, kids were lined up Thursday to give Santa their Christmas wishes, but stopped at the hand sanitizer before jumping on the big guy's lap in hopes of keeping the H1N1 virus from spreading. In between kids, Santa changes out his gloves— just like someone who makes your sandwich. Parent Dolores Vallejos said, "I think it's a good idea because they're around a lot of children and I think by washing their hands with sanitizer it has some control on it." Santa's suits are being cleaned more often, and his sitting area gets disinfected regularly. Santas at malls all across the country are having to do it, to keep from getting and spreading the H1N1 virus. The precautions are something Jennifer Nanez is happy to hear about. Her 3-year-old daughter, Julissa, caught a bad case of the flu this year, and just recently got out of the hospital for an illness. Nanez said, "It's good, my daughter has severe asthma and she's had to go through a lot of stuff, a lot. She just got out of the hospital from all kinds of stuff so I got to watch her, got to carry all of that stuff." Santa and his helpers are also being encouraged to gargle with mouthwash or salt water every day, and to drink warm liquids. [www.clipsyndicate.com | KOB Albuquerque]
