Ho Ho Ho

As Christmas draws closer, so does the level of enthusiasm and anxiousness of the little ones hoping that Santa soon will arrive.

With that in mind I offer two quick websites that might be of interest to you today. The first - www.NorthPole.com - offers a variety of activities, stories and games to occupy children's minds in the hours ahead. The site is child friendly and should lead to some constructive time to help spend the time between now and then.

The second site is www.noradsanta.org. At it children can follow the path of Santa Christmas Eve and learn more about the preparations leading to this week's big event.

Neither site is going to be one that you'll visit year-round, but both offer a lot of interest and fun for the season.

Merry Christmas!
