The North Pole Times
|
You've heard of the "Los Angles Times" and the "New York Times", now you can enjoy the new
"North Pole Times"! Back again for it's nineth year, the North Pole Times
has become a special Holiday treat.
This very successful format offers a different approach to holiday web sites by offering updated
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're wondering, we at the North Pole Times are SURE everything will turn out right this
Christmas and the holiday will proceed without a hitch.

Mrs. Claus' Kitchen
|
Holiday treats for the whole family! Now you can look right into Mrs. Claus' cookbook to see what
she prepares for Santa and all the elves. Find the secret to baking Santa's Favorite Cookies!
(Be sure to leave a few on Christmas Eve.) Perhaps a traditional English Holiday Pudding strikes
your fancy or a wonderful Strawberry Pie! Not just for kids... grown ups will like this too!

Post Office
|
Give your child a special treat this holiday season. Have them send an e-mail 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 may be received at Santa's "Post Office" the following day.
(We believe an instant response would take away from the wonder. Besides, with all the children in the
world, how can Santa respond so quickly?)
Simply have your child log in using the passcode sent to the email address you provided. If you choose,
it will be personalized with your child's first name and include their Christmas list within the body
of the message. Each child in your family will receive a random e-mail message from Santa. You can see
these return messages by clicking here.
If you decided NOT to enter your child's first name, don't worry... Santa will still reply. The return
message will be written in such a way that it will still make sense.
EXAMPLE:
Seasons Greetings Bobby,
vs.
Seasons Greetings,
If Santa receives more than one message from the same name at the same e-mail address, a message from
Mrs. Claus will appear explaining how busy Santa is replying to all the e-mail messages from all the children
around the world.

Here's one everyone will get a kick out of. Santa's List allows your child to see whether she/he has
been Naughty or Nice! But don't worry, although there is always a little room for improvement, Santa
believes EVERYONE on his list is Nice. Be careful though... you too are on Santa's list! Take a look.
