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

After wishing everyone “Merry Christmas” he was off Saturday on the Potomac River along with his hydrofoiling elves and skiing reindeer.

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, 聽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.”
