About Santa Claus

About Santa

Santa maintains a huge list of children who have been good throughout the year. The list even includes addresses, ZIP codes and postal codes. The list, of course, gets bigger each year by virtue of the world’s increasing population. This year’s population right now is 6,634,570,959!

Santa has had to adapt over the years to having less and less time to deliver his toys. If one were to assume he works in the realm of standard time, as we know it, clearly he would have perhaps two to three ten-thousandths of a second to deliver his toys to each child’s home he visits!





The fact that Santa Claus is more than 15 centuries old and does not appear to age is our biggest clue that he does not work within time, as we know it. His Christmas Eve trip may seem to take around 24 hours, but to Santa it could be that it lasts days, weeks or months in standard time. Santa would not want to rush the important job of bringing Christmas happiness to a child, so the only logical conclusion is that Santa somehow functions on a different time and space continuum.

Jingle Bells Song

Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob tails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight

watch this Jingle Bells vedio:



Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh

A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
We got into a drifted bank
And then we got upsot

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh yeah

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh

On Christmas Eve, Santa Claus, (a fat, cheerful man who wears a red suit, red hat, and long white beard) slides down their chimney to bring children gifts. Santa Claus flies through the air in a sleigh pulled by eight reindeer. Several days or weeks before Christmas, children tell Santa Claus what toys they want by writing him letters or visiting him in a local department store. Then, on Christmas Eve, youngsters lie awake listening for Santa and his sleigh.

Official Santa Mail Letter-A letter from Santa Claus

this letter is from Santa Claus to you .

Official Santa Mail Letter from Santa Claus !

Official Santa Mail Letter

We have been very busy up here at the North Pole with preparations for all the toys and my new sleigh. The old sleigh has served me well but I really am looking forward to some interesting new modifications and upgrades that I have been promised.


We're getting ready for the long arctic nights and we have had reports of a deep fog getting ready to descend upon us here at the North Pole. I sure hope it won't keep me grounded on Christmas Eve! Rudolf's red nose is always very helpful when the weather gets troublesome.

Chuckles and Buckley, my hospitality elves, are very busy overseeing the new sleigh production, the reindeer training camp, the toy workshop and so much more before the big day arrives. I think I'll go and check to see how that new sleigh is coming along.

After looking at all of the lists this year , I am pleased to see you are on the "Nice List" again this year and I am so proud of you!

Since you are on my "Nice List" again, I would like to ask for your help. I encourage you to begin practicing random acts of kindness with your family, friends and teachers. It is very important right now to spread as much happiness in the world as possible, and with your help Stone From China, we can make that dream come true!

Random acts of kindness are simple actions a person does for someone else without expecting anything in return. If you practice it enough, it will give you a great sense of joyfulness in your heart. It can be something as simple as a smile or pleasant greeting.

Stay happy and safe,and remember to share the joy you feel in your heart everyday to everyone!

Love - Your Friend,

Santa Claus

Tracking Santa used to be a task that only NORAD tackled, but this year(year 2007) for the first time Google has signed on to help.

The two teamed up to track the big man as he hurdled across the globe delivering presents to all those on the nice list. Google Earth allowed for close up views of Santa and according to NORADsanta.org, the US military’s been tracking St. Nick since the 1950s.

The NORAD Santa Tracker is viewable this year in 3D using Google Earth. Go to the official NORAD Santa Tracker website to get the details and to choose the language of your choice.

this is Norad's promotional video on their 2007 tracking santa task.

About Santa - Who is Santa Claus?

Santa Claus, also known as Saint Nicholas, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, or simply "Santa", is a historical, legendary, and mythical figure in folklore who, in Western cultures, is described as bringing gifts on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day,or on his feast day, December 6.The legend may have its basis in hagiographical tales concerning the historical figure of Saint Nicholas.

Santa Claus
The modern depiction of Santa Claus as a fat, jolly man (or elf) wearing a red coat and trousers with white cuffs and collar, and black leather belt and boots, became popular in the United States in the 19th century due to the significant influence of caricaturist and political cartoonist Thomas Nast. This image has been maintained and reinforced through song, radio, television, and films. In the United Kingdom and Europe, his depiction is often identical to the American Santa, but he is commonly called Father Christmas.

One legend associated with Santa says that he lives in the far north, in a land of perpetual snow. The American version of Santa Claus lives at the North Pole, while Father Christmas is said to reside in Finland. Other details include: he is married and lives with Mrs. Claus; that he makes a list of children throughout the world, categorizing them according to their behavior; that he delivers presents, including toys, candy, and other presents to all of the good boys and girls in the world, and sometimes coal or sticks to the naughty children, in one night; and that he accomplishes this feat with the aid of magical elves who make the toys, and nine flying reindeer who pull his sleigh.

There has long been opposition to teaching children to believe in Santa Claus. Some Christians say the Santa tradition detracts from the religious origins and purpose of Christmas. Other critics feel that Santa Claus is an elaborate lie, and that it is unethical for parents to teach their children to believe in his existence.Still others oppose Santa Claus as a symbol of the commercialization of the Christmas holiday, or as an intrusion upon their own national traditions.
