Iraan-Sheffield Chamber of Commerce issued the following announcement on Nov. 24.
The Iraan-Sheffield Chamber of Commerce regrets to inform you that Santa will be unable to appear this year. We want Santa to stay healthy and keep those rosy cheeks so he can visit all the boys and girls on Christmas Eve. We don't want anything to happen to Santa so it was decided that for his safety...he should stay at the North Pole
He sends a hearty Ho, Ho, Ho to everyone.
