Merrrrry Christmas! Ho, ho, ho!

Today is December 24! Christmas Eve is finally here!

I'm making last minute plans to make my Christmas deliveries tonight. I checked my pack as the elves were filling it and I've got some really great things in there for you! You'll be very happy when you get up tomorrow morning and see what I've left for you. Ho, ho, ho! Well, the reindeer are all ready to go, so I better get out there now! I hope you have the best Christmas ever! Ho, ho, ho!

Merrrrry Christmas! Ho, ho, ho!

Today is December 23! Just 2 more days. Ho, ho, ho!

I can't believe how qickly the time goes by. Tomorrow, I'll be packing my sleigh and delivering your Christmas presents after you are asleep. That reminds me, I better do a last check of my list. (I know that you've been very good this year.)

Don't forget, tomorrow you can check on the Santa Tracker (on the right side) and see where I am delivering presents. When I get close to your house, make sure you go to bed. (I won't deliver your presents until you are asleep.)

Merrrrry Christmas! Ho, ho, ho!

Today is December 22, 2007. Just 3 more days! Are you excited about Christmass? Me too! Ho, ho, ho!

The elves made a new harness system for the reindeer. The harness is like a belt that goes around the reindeers' tummy. It connects to a long leather rope that I hold onto when I'm steering the sleigh. I hold onto the rope and use it to to tell the reindeer which way to turn. When I pull on the left side, the reindeer turn left. When I pull on the right side, the reindeer turn right. Ho, ho, ho! You see, it's really pretty easy to steer the sleigh! Ho, ho, ho!

Oh my goodness, Christmas is almost here. I have so much to do to get ready. I am very busy this time of year!
I've got to check my list again, to see who is naughty and who is nice.
I have to make sure that all the toys are finished on time.
I'll have to make sure the toys are packed into my bag properly.
I have to make sure the reindeer are in tip-top flying shape.
I'll have to check on the sleigh so that we can glide through the air on Christmas Eve.
I've got to make sure that my boots are clean and shiny.
Oh dear, there is so much to do and Christmas is getting near.
But don't worry, we always get everything done in time for Christmas. Ho, ho, ho!

Well, I've got to go and get started on my list.

I feel bad for the elves. They had to work overtime last night so that they can get all the toys made before Christmas. Some of them worked right through dinner. Mrs. Claus felt so sorry for them that she got up early this morning and made them breakfast. She was in the kitchen cooking for hours (the elves eat a lot!) Do you eat a good breakfast every morning? I do too.

Today is December 19. Wow! Just 6 more days, that's less than a week!

Things are very busy now at the North Pole. The elves are working very hard in the toy shop trying to get all the toys made. I checked with them to make sure that they had enough time to finish them all. They told me that they should finish up and make the last toy with 15 minutes to spare. That will give them just enough time to pack it into my sleigh before I take off. Those elves are amazing.Ho, ho, ho!

What is your favorite book? Mine is 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. Ho, ho, ho!

I've included the written words below so that you can follow along.

THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS
by Clement Clarke Moore

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads.
And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled down for a long winter's nap.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer.

With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name.

"Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! on Cupid! on, Donder and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!"

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky.
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my hand, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.

He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.

His eyes how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow.

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook, when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly.

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself.
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk.
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night."

I'll spend all day today checking my list to see who's naughty and who's nice. It's a very big job. There are millions of children in the world, you know. And every year, some of them are naughty. I know that you've been very good this year, I was very glad to see that. That makes me very happy. Ho, ho, ho!

I didn't want you to forget that we have the Santa Tracker installed here at the site. It will become active on Christmas Eve at 6:00 in the morning. (when it is 6:00 in the morning at your house, it is very late at night in other parts of the world. The world is a very big place!) Click on the Santa Tracker and watch my progress several times on Christmas Eve day. I hope you have fun with it! Ho, ho, ho!

I have to go now. I have to get back to the stores so that children can tell me what they want for Christmas. Ho, ho, ho!

We got 52 big bags of mail here at the North Pole yesterday containing lists of what children want for Christmas. I haven't gone through all the mail yet, but I'll get to it soon. Have you sent me your list yet? If you did, maybe it's in the mail that came yesterday. If you haven't sent me your list, make sure you send it soon. There are only 10 more days until Christmas and the mail slows down as we get closer to Christmas day!

Earlier today we had the annual Reindeer race and it was really exciting! Whoever wins the race gets to lead my sleigh on Christmas Eve. All the elves line up to see it and we serve hot chocolate to stay warm. Even Frosty the snowman was there, but Frosty doesn't like hot chocolate. (Can you guess why?)

The race started out with Blitzen in the lead. Then Donner zoomed ahead but was passed by Cupid and Blitzen. Vixen, Dasher, Prancer, and Dancer were getting ready to take the lead when all of a sudden Rudolph came soaring up to the front right at the finish line and won the race. It was very exciting. All of the elves were cheering for their favorites and it was really fun.

Because Rudolph won this year, he will lead my sleigh on Christmas Eve. Rudolph is very happy that he won. Ho, ho, ho!

I've got an idea for you for another Christmas project you can do. Have you ever made Christmas ornaments for your Christmas tree? It would look great on your tree. Your tree was really pretty last year and I think a homemade ornament that you made yourself would make it perfect! Ho, ho, ho!

Get some paper and draw a Christmas decoration on it. It can be a picture of me, a bell, a snowman, a snowflake, your tree, or anything you like. Color it nicely and try to stay in the lines. When you are all done, make sure you put the date on it. Then, have one of your parents cut it out and put a small hole at the top . Thread colorful ribbon (or a string works just as well) through the hole in the top. Tie the ribbon (or string) and you've got a Christmas ornament. Hang it right in the front of the tree so that I can see it when I come to your house on Christmas Eve. I can't wait to see it. I'll bet it's beautiful! Ho, ho, ho!

Mrs. Claus was checking my suit this morning and getting it ready so I can wear it on Christmas Eve when she found a big hole in it! I must have torn it coming down someone's chimney! It's a good thing she found it. I would have been very cold on Christmas Eve if I wore it with that big hole in it. She's fixing it now by sewing in a swatch of material with a needle and thread.

The North Pole looks beautiful this time of year. Everything is decorated with Christmas lights and Christmas carols are playing in the background. I like to go out and look at the lights at night whenever I have time. Do you ever go out with your parents in the evenings to look at Christmas lights? Ask your parents to take you out one night to look at the lights. It's really pretty. And make sure you bring along some Christmas music. It's a lot of fun! Ho, ho, ho!

A lot of children ask me the names of my reindeer. Do you remember how many reindeer I have? ... That's a pretty hard question... I have 9 reindeer. You did pretty good with that question. Do you remember the names of my reindeer? That's a really hard question...
The name of my reindeer are:
Dasher
Dancer
Prancer
Vixen
Comet
Cupid
Donner
Blitzen
Rudolph

Wow, You did fantastic answering that question! Ho, ho, ho!

Mrs. Claus is making Christmas cookies again today. She has to make them often because the elves just love them. Do you like cookies? What is your favorite kind of cookie? My favorite cookie is the kind you left out for me last year. Yummy, they were really good! Ho, ho, ho!

I asked Mrs. Claus to make a special oatmeal treat for the reindeer. They love oats.

If you want to leave the reindeer a special treat (instead of carrots) this Christmas Eve, I'll give you the secret recipe for a special reindeer treat that the reindeer love. It's easy to do and your mom can help you.

Get a small, sandwich size paper bag. Decorate it with crayons. Draw whatever you like on the bag and color it nicely. (I've seen some of the pictures that you've drawn so I know you'll be great at this.) When you finish decorating the bag, get your mom to help you add about 1/2 cup of dry, uncooked oats (the kind your mom uses to make oatmeal) into the bag you decorated. Add 1/2 cup of raisins and mix them together. Using colored ribbon, or string, tie the bag about 3 inches from the top and you're done. You've got a beautifully decorated treat that you can leave out for the reindeer on Christmas Eve.

Today is December 8, That means there are just 17 more days til Christmas! Wow! Christmas will be here before you know it. I can't wait, how about you?

I just finished feeding the reindeer and now I'm cleaning up the feeding area. Do you clean up your room and put your toys away when you're done playing with them? That's good. That makes me happy! Ho, ho, ho!

I'll be in stores all day today talking to children and asking what they want for Christmas. Will you be coming to see me? I hope so. Ho, ho, ho!

At the same time that I'm in the stores, I'm supposed to be showing the elves how to make one of the newest toys this year, maybe it's one of the toys you asked for. Anyway, you might be asking yourself, "How can Santa be in two places at once?" Well, that's impossible, even for me! Ho, ho, ho! One of the elves came up with a very good idea. He said that I should make a recording of my voice, and play it for the elves. That way, I can show them how to make the toys while I'm at the stores talking to children. That solved my problem. The elves are very smart! In fact, they're almost as smart as you. Ho, ho, ho!

If you'd like to hear a personal recording from me, have your Mom click on the picture above. I' think you'll really like it. Ho, ho, ho!

There was some sort of mix-up in the workshop today. It appears that some of the elves were building toys from last year's list. That could have been a problem. It's a good thing that I caught it in time. Otherwise, nobody would have gotten the right toys. But it is all fixed now, and don't worry, everybody will get the right toys this year. Ho, ho, ho!

Frosty the snowman stopped by this morning. He said he had to leave early because he is going to be on TV tonight. Do you like Frosty? Me too! He's one of my favorites. Do you remember what his nose is made of? That's a hard question. He has a button for a nose. It looks pretty cute, too. It always make me laugh and smile when I see Frosty. Ho, ho, ho! Does Frosty make you happy too? That's good.

That's all for today, I've got to go and feed the reindeer.

However, if you want to check it out now, click on the 'Santa Tracker" link below and it will take to NASA's tracking center. Once there, if you click on the "next button" (in the lower right corner) you'll get some cool information about what is going on as we prepare for Christmas!
