December Already!

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
