ARTICLE: Santa Websites!

There are lots of great websites that can track Santa, check your child´s naughty or nice rating, give you Santa´s important information and showcase Christmas activities. Here are some that I´ve found: (remember always sit by your child for safe web use)

• www.claus.com Games to help out Santa, a visit to Santa´s Village where you can check your naughty or nice rating, sing along, get an elf diploma, plan your Christmas party and lots more!
• www.northpole.com You can write a letter to Santa, and he´ll write back, stories, print out good deed calendars, games, and also stuff for parents, such as recipes, e-cards and wonderful crafts!
• www.noradsanta.org The greatest Santa tracker. Watch live footage of Santa flying around the world on Christmas Eve. Tune in early Christmas Eve morning to see Santa leaving the North Pole on his journey!
