Parents, Guardians and Teachers

You've heard of the "Los Angles Times" and the "New York Times", now you can enjoy the new "North Pole Times!" For 29 years, the North Pole Times has kept kids updated on all the news at Santa's Village at the North Pole. This very successful format offers a different approach to holiday web sites by offering up-to-date information EVERY day from Thanksgiving through December 26th.

Could something develop that might hinder Christmas this year? Perhaps a breakdown in Santa's toy factory? Maybe the reindeer turn ill because they didn't eat their vegetables. Or maybe Santa himself catches a cold because he didn't dress right for the weather. The North Pole Times will keep you informed while subtly reminding the kids of some of the basics of growing up.

Join Elvin Elf, Waldo Elf, Eugene Elf and Jiller Elf as they bring to you a daily update of what's happening at The North Pole. Every day from Thanksgiving through December 26, you and your children will keep informed of North Pole happenings. Written by award winning producer Brian Pienkoski, The North Pole Times is a wonderful learning tool encouraging your children to read. From the reindeer games, to the BIG day, The North Pole Times is Santa's "Official Newsletter"^(sm).

Follow ALL the stories behind the scenes, see what Santa and the elves are up to on a daily basis. Let the excitement begin, don't let a day go by... The North Pole Times is now a Holiday Tradition!

PS: In case you were concerned, we at the North Pole Times are SURE everything will turn out right this Christmas and the holiday will proceed without a hitch.

Not just for kids... grown ups will like this too!

Give your child a special treat this holiday season. Have them send an email message to Santa and see their eyes light up 24 hours later when Santa replies knowing exactly what he/she wants for Christmas! Simply enter your child's Christmas list on the form at the "Post Office" (one item minimum), personalize it with your child's FIRST name (optional), and enter the return e-mail address where your child will receive their SECRET PASSCODE.

The return message will be available at Santa's Post Office 24 hours later.

(We believe an instant response takes away from the authenticity. Besides, with all the children in the world, how can Santa respond so quickly? He keeps pretty busy up here at the North Pole.)

Simply have your child log in using the passcode sent to the email address you provided. If you choose, it will be personalized with the child's first name and include their Christmas list within the body of the message. Each child will receive a random e-mail message from Santa.

If you decide NOT to enter your child's first name, no worries... Santa will still reply.

If Santa receives more than one request from the same child name at the same e-mail address, a message from Mrs. Claus will appear explaining that Santa already received the email and how busy he is replying to all the e-mail messages from all the children around the world. She will let the child know to come back tomorrow (24 hours later) to get Santa's response.
