Forget the sleigh -- Santa's on skates this weekend

PROVIDENCE -- He can slide down chimneys and drive a magical sleigh pulled by reindeer. But can Santa skate?

Find out for yourself this weekend at Providence's Bank of America skating center. The man with the white beard who knows when you've been sleeping will be on hand at the skating center on Saturday and Sunday from 2 to 5 p.m. each day.

Santa agreed to take a break from his busy holiday schedule at the North Pole to come down to Providence for this special occasion, according to the mayor's office.

“I love coming to Providence every year to skate with the boys and girls at the skating rink, and the ice is perfect compared to what I usually skate on in my backyard at the North Pole,” Santa said.
