Florida\u2019s good boys and girls can get certificates showing that Santa Claus is cleared to enter the Sunshine State to deliver gifts to their homes this Christmas Eve.<\/p>\n
Florida Commissioner of Agriculture Wilton Simpson\u2019s office is offering parents and guardians the chance to create the Certificates of Clearance by visiting the website christmas.fdacs.gov<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cFrom our beaches to our farmlands, Florida families know how to make Christmas special. I\u2019m proud to partner with my pal Santa again this year to ensure he and his reindeer have everything they need to make their travels as safe and smooth as possible,\u201d Commissioner Wilton Simpson said in a news release. \u201cChildren across Florida can celebrate Santa\u2019s official clearance with a fun keepsake certificate \u2013 a reminder that Florida always cherishes its families and traditions.\u201d<\/p>\n When parents or guardians visit the website, they\u2019ll just have to create an account and will receive a digital certificate and letter to download and print for each child ahead of Santa\u2019s arrival.<\/p>\n On Thursday, Simpson issued \u201cEmergency Order 2025-CHRISTMAS\u201d<\/a> which \u201cmakes clear that Santa Claus does not need permits, paperwork, approvals, or government permission of any kind to deliver Christmas cheer to Florida families.\u201d<\/p>\n [DOWNLOAD: Free Action News Jax app for alerts as news breaks<\/a>]<\/p>\n [SIGN UP: Action News Jax Daily Headlines Newsletter<\/a>]<\/p>\n Click here<\/a> to download the free Action News Jax news and weather apps, click here<\/a> to download the Action News Jax Now app for your smart TV and click here<\/a> to stream Action News Jax live.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Florida\u2019s good boys and girls can get certificates showing that Santa Claus is cleared to enter the Sunshine…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":94968,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[40454,28,30,29,35889,1360,9962],"class_list":{"0":"post-94967","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-florida","8":"tag-christmas-eve","9":"tag-florida","10":"tag-florida-headlines","11":"tag-florida-news","12":"tag-santa-claus","13":"tag-the-sunshine-state","14":"tag-wilton-simpson"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94967","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=94967"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94967\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/94968"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=94967"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=94967"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=94967"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
