AURORA, Colo.—Santa will park his sleigh and hop behind the wheel of a mail truck on Christmas Day in the east Denver suburb of Aurora.
Mail carrier Doug Fischer will dress in a Santa suit when he delivers Express Mail packages on Christmas Day.
It’s the 11th straight year Fischer has made Christmas Day deliveries dressed as Santa. Christmas delivery of Express Mail is routine in large cities, but U.S. Postal Service spokesman Al DeSarro says not many carriers take on the role of Santa.
Fischer says he’ll greet customers with a “Ho! Ho! Ho!” as he does every year.
He says he may be especially welcome this year with the down economy.
Fischer says, “I expect to see lots of smiling and happy faces from young and old alike.”
