Hello friends!

First of all, I want to thank those of you who have sent me your Christmas lists and letters!  They have been a joy to read and even more fun to respond to!  Everyone has been so good this year!

Second, I want to apologize if my blog has been a little quiet.  Despite this, I have been pretty active over on my Facebook page!  If you’d like to check it out or follow me, you can click here to check it out!

Finally, I am very excited because today is the day my annual videos start!  For the third year in a row, you can follow me on your iPhone and on my website here!  I will also be sharing my video links via my Facebook page and Twitter (see Twitter link above to follow me there)!

So much to do yet and only 22 days and counting!  We’ll see you very soon!

Love,
Santa

Happy Halloween Everyone!

I just wanted to take a quick minute to write a note to all my special friends around the world:  HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I hope you have fun trick or treating, at your Halloween parties, or however you plan to celebrate the spookiest night of the year!  But no matter how you are celebrating, remember to be safe!

Less than two months now until my big trip!  Time to get off the computer and back to work on these dolls.  :)

HO! HO! HO!

Love, Santa

My Blog – Back for its Second Season

Hello Moms and Dads, Boys and Girls everywhere!

Wait a minute, didn’t I just wrap up my 2009 Christmas trip?  Didn’t I just wish you a Happy New Year?  My goodness, this year has flown by!  Back to the workshop we go, to make toys and wrap gifts for all my special friends: You!  :)

If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, you probably noticed I’ve already had a few moments in the past week or two to post there, but this is the first time I’ve had a chance to sit down really get into my first blog post of the 2010 season.

I hope all of you had a wonderful year.  I’ve been keeping tabs on you as usual from my perch high in the North Pole, and I must say you’ve all been EXTREMELY good this year!  I’m not sure if there’s something in the water, or you’re all just continuing to exceed my “Nice List Expectations” the all natural way, but either way I’m very impressed!  There is one small problem with that though: that means I have an extremely large volume of toys to make this year!  But that’s ok!  I love making them for all my special friends, and so do the elves.

Anyway, I better wrap this up for now, but as usual, I will continue to do my best to write often and keep you posted on what’s happening up here!  And don’t forget to get the updated app for your iPhone or Android device to follow my video posts again this year.

We’ll see you all very soon!

Love, Santa

Christmas 2009 Wrap-Up (Happy New Year!)

Hello everyone!  I realize I should have written a post shortly after my big trip last week, but we had a lot of loose ends to tie up when I got back to the North Pole, so I never got a chance, and I apologize!

Thursday night was a crazy one, but I made it!  As I mentioned before, there was a record number of names on the nice list this year, so my 2009 trip around the world was extra long!  But no matter how long the trip was, it was still fun for me like always!  Ho!  Ho!  Ho!

Now that I’m home again, the elves, the reindeer, Mrs. Claus and I are taking the rest of the year off and enjoying our annual vacation, which actually lasts about a month.  But at the beginning of February we’ll be back at it getting ready and making preparations and improvements for our Christmas 2010 operations!  It’s a never-ending job and we love it!  :)

As a final note, I’d like to mention that I just updated the video archive page, so now all my videos from 2009 are posted on the site for all to see!

I hope everyone around the world has a wonderful new year!  I’ll see you all again very soon. :)

Sincerely,
Santa Claus

5 Days & Counting!

Ho! Ho! Ho! Busy! Busy! Busy!

Can you believe it?!  My big trip is only 5 days away!  My how time flies when the Christmas season hits!  The elves and I have been burning the midnight oil for weeks now getting all these toys finished up and wrapped for you!

We’ve had lots of Christmas letters come in this year, and I’m still trying to get through them all!  But don’t worry, I’m almost done (just in case you were worried I wouldn’t get to yours)!  I’ve enjoyed each and everyone of them, and there is a record number of you on the nice list this year!  That makes things even more hectic around here because that just means more toys to deliver and more stockings to fill than past years.

The last few days of videos on the websites, iPhone app and Android app will show me busy with my final preparations before the big trip, as well as the big trip itself!  Just like last year, I want to thank you (and your moms and dads too) for following me via my video feature, and I look forward to bringing the videos to you again next year!

Well, time to get back to work.  We’ve got a lot to do yet and it’s almost time to load the sleigh!  I also have to feed the reindeer yet this evening.  They are starting to get a little impatient!  :)

See you soon (while visions of sugar plums dance in your head)!

Sincerely,

Santa Claus

Happy December Friends!

I have several bits of good news to share with you today!  First of all, only 23 days until Christmas Eve!  How exciting!  On that same topic, remember to send your letters to me soon!  I’ve enjoyed all of the letters I’ve received so far, and I look forward to reading yours!

More good news on the technology stuff here at the North Pole: the iPhone and Android apps are now available!  Check out the iPhone App and Android App pages on my site (upper right hand corner of the site) or go directly to the iTunes App Store or Android Market to down them now!  My videos start tomorrow, December 2nd!

If you don’t have an iPhone or Google Android phone, you can still follow me and watch the videos right here on my site!  The videos will be updated daily, so check back every evening with your mom and dad’s permission!  And from the letters I’ve gotten so far, it seems that moms, dads, and grandparents all over enjoy watching my videos too!

Don’t forget that St. Nicholas’ Day is in a few days!  Do you do anything to celebrate that day?  I know some people do, so that’s why I’m reminding you!  :)

Anyway, back to work.  We still have a lot of toys to make and preparations to plan for!  Ho! Ho! Ho!

Sincerely,
Santa Claus

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello everyone!

I apologize for the shortage of blog posts! The elves and I have been busy the last couple of weeks trying to stay ahead of schedule so we can take this Thursday off to spend a nice quiet day together for the Thanksgiving holiday. I am truly blessed to have such a wonderful team of hard workers and friends! I am also very thankful for my supportive and loving wife Mrs. Claus. Without any of them I wouldn’t be able to make my deadlines and accomplish all I need to do before the big trip on Christmas Eve!

What are you thankful for this year? I encourage you to leave your feedback in the comments below. I look forward to reading them!

Last but certainly not least, remember that you can now send your Christmas letters and lists to me right here on my website! Make sure you have permission from mom and dad first. Maybe they can even help you write to me! I can’t wait to hear from you soon!

Happy Thanksgiving to all, and God Bless,
Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus, the Elves & Reindeer
