Merrrrry Christmas! Ho, ho, ho!

I'm in the elves workshop and it is very noisy! Everyone is busy at their bench making toys. I see a toy on this bench that has your name on it. They are working on one of your toys right now! Can you guess which toy it is? I'll bet you can't! Ho, ho, ho!

Many children ask me what is my favorite kind of cookie. Well, I'll tell you a secret if you promise not to tell anyone. My favorite cookies are the kind that I got at your house last year. They were delicious! Ho, ho, ho!

I've got to go now. I'm supposed to be in a store in ten minutes and I've got just enough time to get here. I wouldn't want to be late.


See you tomorrow,

Ho, ho, ho! Merrrrry Christmas!

Mrs. Claus is working very hard today. She's repairing my suit. It seems that I tore it last year while going down someone's chimney. That happens from time to time. Some chimneys have sharp edges inside and my suit can tear if I'm not careful.

Tell your Mommy to click on the picture above (after you leave the computer). There's some information there FOR PARENT'S ONLY. Little one's should not view that page.

I'm sorry to cut this short, but I've got a busy day today.

Today is one of my favorite days of the year (besides Christmas, of course)! Do you know why? It is because Mrs. Claus is making Christmas cookies today. And Christmas cookies are one of my favorite things! Ho, ho, ho! I have a very important job when Mrs. Claus makes her cookies, I'm the taste tester! That's the best job in the world!

As I recall, I had some really great cookies at your house last year. Did you help Mommy make them? If Mommy is going to make cookies this year, ask her if you can help. If she says that you are too little to help, ask her if you can have the job as the taste tester! It's the best job there is!

I've got some great news for you. In a week or two, I'll be installing the NASA tracking system onto the site so you can see exactly where I am on Christmas Eve. Starting on Christmas Eve at 6:00 in the morning, you can click on the link and watch my progress as I make my rounds and deliver toys to boys and girls all around the world.

This is the same tracking system that Mrs. Claus uses to make sure I'm okay on Christmas Eve. Try it out on Christmas Eve, I think you'll like it.

There's just 1 more month until Christmas! That makes me very happy! Are you excited about Christmas? Me too, ho, ho, ho!

Tonight, after it gets dark, the reindeer and I will do a practice run on the route that we will take on Christmas Eve. Two elves come along with us to help navigate. The elves will make notes on where everyone lives so that everyone gets the right toys. And many families move during the year. We have to make sure we know how to get to the houses of children who moved since last Christmas. Ho, ho, ho!

After it gets dark tonight, if you should look up in the sky and see us go by on our practice run, make sure you wave and say hi. Ho, ho, ho!

It snowed again last night here at the North Pole. The elves are outside shoveling snow. They're a big help around here. Do you help Mommy with some of the chores around your house? You do? Oh, it makes me very happy to hear that. Ho, ho, ho!

Have you made your list and sent it to me yet? I'll be sure to watch for it!

I'm sorry to cut this short, but I've got to go now. I have to get back to the stores to hear what children want for Christmas.

I had so much fun at the parade yesterday! Ho, ho, ho! Did you have a good day yesterday? I hope so.

Today is the official opening of the Christmas season and I'm really excited! I'll be at stores all day asking children what they want for Christmas. Christmas music will be playing in the background and it will be great fun. Ho, ho, ho!

Don't forget to come see me and let me know what you want for Christmas. You don't have to come today, though. I'll be there until Christmas Eve.

I just checked my list and I see that you've been VERY good this this year. I am so proud of you. It makes me very happy. Ho, ho, ho!

The Christmas season officially starts with my appearance in the parade today. (Remember, I'll be waving to you - so wave back and say Hi!)

Starting tomorrow, I'll be at local stores to hear what you (and all of the other children) want for Christmas. Do you know when you're coming to see me yet? It's okay if you can't come tomorrow, I'll be there until Christmas Eve, so you have plenty of time.

A special friend of mine (Bryce) is a big Elvis fan and asked me to play this Christmas song for him. It really put me in the Christmas spirit! Ho, ho, ho!

Starting on Friday, I'll be at some local stores so you can tell me what you want for Christmas. Do you know when you're coming to see me this year? I'll bet that you've really grown since last year. I can't wait to see you.

Last year you seemed a little nervous when you came to see me. But, you were a lot younger then. Hopefully, you won't be scared this year. I look forward to seeing you soon and hearing what you want for Christmas.

One last thing, if your parents say it's okay, watch for me in the parade on Thursday. (It will be on TV.) If you see me wave, you'll know that I'm saying hi to you! Wave back and say hi! That will make me very happy. Ho, ho, ho!

I'm soooo happy! I'm packing up some clothes so that I can go to the Parade on Thursday. Remember, if you see me wave, I'm waving to you, so make sure you wave back to me and say Hi.

Thursday is the official start of the Christmas season, so things will really get busy around here. I gave the elves a day off today and they are all outside playing in the snow. They made about a hundred snow angels and little elf-sized snowmen. Ho, ho, ho! Have you ever made a snow angel or a snowman? It's a lot of fun.

Well, I'd better be going, the elves are calling me to go outside and play with them in the snow. We have lots of fun (and lots of snow) here at the North Pole.

Hello, how are you today? I was just out in the practice area with the reindeer. They were practicing their landings. You see, it is very important for them to
land very quietly on your roof on Christmas Eve. If they made a lot of noise when they landed, it would wake you up. And that wouldn't be good. Ho, ho, ho!

Have you ever heard the reindeer on your roof on Christmas Eve?

Oh, that reminds me, the reindeer asked me to say hi to you. If you wave and say hi to each one of them by name, I think they'll hear you, and that would make them very happy. Do you remember the names of all of my reindeer?

In case you forgot, their names are:

Dasher
Dancer
Prancer
Vixen
Comet
Cupid
Donner
Blitzen
Rudolph

Thank-you, you did a very good job! Ho, ho, ho! The reindeer will be very happy!

Guess who Mrs. Claus and I just saw, Frosty the snowman. He said he was in the neighborhood so he stopped by for a visit. We were so happy to see him. We just love Frosty. He always puts us in such a good mood. Does Frosty make you happy? I thought so. Ho, ho, ho!

Do you remember what kind of nose that Frosty has? How about his eyes, do you know what they are made of? Sorry, those were pretty hard questions. Well, to refresh your memory about Frosty, I've included the words to his song below. Maybe you can sing it with your Mommy or Daddy.

Frosty The Snowman

Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul,
With a corncob pipe and a button nose,
And two eyes made out of coal.
Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale, they say,
He was made of snow but the children
know how he came to life one day.
There must have been some magic in that
Old silk hat they found.
For when they placed it on his head,
He began to dance around.

O, Frosty the snowman
Was alive as he could be,
And the children say he could laugh
And play just the same as you and me.
Thumpetty thump thump,
Thumpety thump thump,
Look at Frosty go.
Thumpetty thump thump,
Thumpety thump thump,
Over the hills of snow.

Frosty the snowman knew
The sun was hot that day,
So he said, "Let's run and
we'll have some fun
now before I melt away."
Down to the village,
With a broomstick in his hand,
Running here and there all
Around the square saying,
Catch me if you can.
He led them down the streets of town
Right to the traffic cop.
And he only paused a moment when
He heard him holler "Stop!"

For Frosty the snowman
Had to hurry on his way,
But he waved goodbye saying,
"Don't you cry,
I'll be back again some day."
Thumpetty thump thump,
Thumpety thump thump,
Look at Frosty go.
Thumpetty thump thump,
Thumpety thump thump,
Over the hills of snow.

That was wonderful. You're a great singer! Ho, ho, ho!

Ho, ho, ho! Merrrrry Christmas!

It's snowing very hard outside today. It snows a lot here at the North Pole. The elves and reindeer are outside playing in the snow. It looks the elves made a snowman that looks like me. Ho, ho, ho!

Does it snow a lot where you live? Do you like the snow? I'd better be going now, the elves are calling me to go outside with them and play in the snow. I'll try to make a snowman that looks like an elf.

We've started to get some early Christmas lists already. The elves have gone through the mail bags and have started to make their own list of who wants what. They do a great job of keeping track of all the details. I just have to make the final list, then check it once or twice. Of course, I have to supervise what gets packed onto my sleigh on Christmas eve. That's a very important job and I wouldn't want to forget anything.

Have you finished your list yet? I'll make sure I tell the elves to watch for your letter! Ho, ho, ho!

I just got out the suit that I wore last year on my Christmas rounds and I noticed that it is torn in a number of places. I got a needle and thread and I'm fixing it now.

Not all chimneys are as easy to come down as yours. Some of them are very dirty. I remember one time a few years ago when I got stuck in someone's chimney. Now that I look back on it, it was very funny. But I was kind of nervous when it happened.

Thank goodness for the reindeer, they tugged and yanked and after a good long while they finally pulled me out. I learned a good lesson from that, I try not to put on too much weight just before Christmas. After all, I want to make sure that I can fit down your chimney! Ho, ho, ho!

I was just over in the workshop clearing out a space for the Christmas tree. The workshop is a very busy and noisy place. There are hundreds of elves sitting at work benches hammering and tapping toys together, operating machinery, and gluing tiny parts together. You can hardly hear yourself think. But the elves love this time of year. And so do I! Ho, ho, ho!

How about you? Do like Christmas? I thought so. I've got to go now, Mrs Claus is calling me.

I just came back from a trip to the Christmas tree forest to choose the trees we want for Christmas this year. Mrs. Claus likes to pick out the trees. This year, she had trouble deciding which ones were the best. First she wanted this tree, then she wanted that one, then back to the first one. We were out in the forest for hours. But at last, she chose the perfect tree. It kind of reminded me of the tree that you had last year. It was very pretty as I recall. Oh well, that's all for now. Mrs. Claus is bringing me some hot chocolate, so I've got to go.

I was away for awhile taking care of some details. I had to make special arrangements to come to the town you live in. That way, you and all of the other boys and girls can sit on my lap and tell me what you want for Christmas. That's the fun part of my job. Are you going to come and see me this year? I hope so.

Do you know what you want for Christmas yet? It might be fun if you had someone help you make a list of what you want and send it to me here at the North Pole. The elves open millions of letters each year from boys and girls just like you. I can't wait for Christmas, how about you?

The last time we spoke I told you that Rudolph wasn't felling well. I'm glad to report that Rudolph is over his cold and he's feeling fine! In fact, he's feeling so good, he's out in the field with the other reindeer doing flying practice.

Thank goodness Rudolph is better! He's a very important part of the reindeer that pull my sleigh on Christmas Eve. If it's foggy, he lights up his nose and guides the sleigh so that we can see where we're going. Ho, ho, ho!

I'd better be going, I've got a busy day planned.

I am glad you stopped by today. I wanted to let you know so you don't worry. Rudolph has a bad cold. All day yesterday he was sneezing and coughing so we had the doctor come over to check him out. Thankfully it's just a bad cold. The doctor said he should drink plenty of liquids and he would be fine in a few days.

Mrs. Claus has been taking care of him by giving him bowls of hot tea. Right now I'm going into the house to brew another pot of tea. I think I'll make a little extra so that Mrs. Claus and I can take a break and relax with a nice cup of tea. She can use a break, she's been working awfully hard taking care of Rudolph. Well, I've got to go now and make that tea.

See you tomorrow.

I've got to go back to the house now and clean up my room. I like to keep everything neat and tidy. It makes Mrs. Claus very happy. Do you help out by putting your toys away after you are done playing with them? Excellent, that makes me very happy! Ho, ho, ho!

I just finished up polishing and waxing the sleigh. I like to keep it clean and shiny! I use a special wax that makes it glide through the air like the wind. It also helps me come to a smooth landing when there is no snow at Christmas. The elves make the wax from a secret recipe.

Well, you'll have to excuse me, Mrs Claus is making vegetable casserole for dinner and I just love that. You eat all of your vegetables, right? I thought so.

Bye for now. See you Tomorrow.

The closer it gets to Christmas day, the jollier I get, Ho, ho, ho! I just left the reindeer, they're taking an afternoon nap. Mrs. Claus just called me in for dinner. She thinks I'm too thin, ho, ho, ho! She always worries that I won't have enough energy to finish my Christamas rounds, so me makes me eat a very big breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day. And then, to make sure I stay good and plump, she gives me a big snack every night. Oh well, I better hurry inside before Mrs. Claus starts to worry.

Ho, Ho, Ho, Donner, that was a good one. Blitzen, keep your head up, that's right. Excellent! Okay reindeer, practice is over, come on down here, I've got a nice treat for you!

That reminds me, I remember last year you gave me and the reindeer a nice treat when we stopped by your house. I got cookies and milk and you left a carrot for the reindeer. That was perfect timing. By the time we got to your house we were all very tired and hungry (it was a very busy night, you know). Well, I hope you can do the same for us this year. The cookies were great!

I'm checking my list to see who was naughty and who was nice! I am very happy to see that you were very good this year. I'll try to get you that special gift you wanted this Christmas.

Oh dear, it sounds like there's some excitement in the workshop. It looks like there's a disagreement among the elves on how to put together a toy they're making. Oh well, I better get over there and settle that so that they can get back to work.
