Why not add to the anticipation of the coming Christmas season and let your children have fun with the Norad Tracks Santa site.  In the spirit of season, there are a variety of fun features on this site for your families to enjoy.

A new game is "unlocked" each day and they range from easy to hard in playing levels.  Listen to Christmas music and browse through an online library where children can learn about customs around the world.  All sorts of info about Santa, his sleigh, and short movies to enjoy.

This all leads up to Christmas Eve where your children can track Santa's ride on the night before Christmas.  Short movies about where he has just been and where he is headed will delight your children as they leave cookies and milk for Santa and head to bed to dream of sugarplums in their heads!

 

        

Give the Gift of Santa

With Christmas right around the corner, here is a unique gift idea to give someone special! Give the gift of Santa. Santas come in all shapes and sizes. This vintage looking Santa Claus is my own design. I fashioned his face out of clay. Santa's beard is made of beautiful sheep's wool. He carries twigs and a wreath, a round hat box package, a old time looking horn, and a tea dyed teddy bear dressed in ruffles and bow.

Santa sits in a beautiful handmade rustic framed wooden shadowbox. The stars sparkle with rhinestones and diamond dust. His face has a gentle look and his eyes are deep blue. When I think of Santa, it reminds me of service and giving myself to others. Even the small things we do matter. We may not be able to give a lot of time to others at this time in our life, but small and simple acts of kindness to our family and others go along ways.

When you give someone a birthday gift or a Christmas gift, consider giving them a special Santa. Maybe someone has been especially kind to you. You could give them a Santa to represent what they have done for others with a note to say that this reminds you of them and why.

Pipka Santas have such a variety of Santas to choose from. They are reasonable priced and you can find a Santa to fit almost everyone's personality. They are designed by the talented Pipka the artist

Whatever Santa you choose, you can be inspired to do good or inspire others you know to do good.
