WASHINGTON — Santa Claus actually had time on Christmas Eve to get in some waterskiing near Old Town Alexandria.

And naturally, the Grinch was on a jetski causing trouble.

It was the 31th year for the Skiing Santa event, which is a Christmas Eve favorite around these parts. This is the third year that it was held in Old Town Alexandria.

Jacob Bosley, 12,  said he and his family have been coming for years to see the Skiing Santa show. His favorite part? “We like the elf on the jet ski in the water.”
