The Christmas tradition of documenting the holiday with Old St. Nick lives on in numerous venues around Richmond – from malls, to shopping districts, sporting goods stores to greenhouses, farms to the Children’s Museum, although many interactions this year will be distanced for health. Capturing the moment makes the occasion memorable and colorful. These fun-filled holiday traditions will be continuing this year but may look and feel different as we socially distance and service is modified.
