One week and counting.

Hey there,

As I write this I realize that a week from today I will be in Harrisburg, PA. man time is just flying by.

Some new news. First off I will be going to New York to do the Fox and Friends TV Show again this year. Please check your local cable for the live show. I will be on Saturday Nov. 7th from 6-9, I am not sure what I will be doing but if its anything like last year it will be fun!

The next thing is I found out today that the local NBC station is looking into doing a story on me "The dude in the red suit". I will find out tomorrow if it is a go or not. I personally think it would be great fun. More on that another day.

I have been hearing that Santa's Wonderland has grown from last year's 5000 sq ft to almost 9000 sq ft this year. I can hardly wait to see it.

Also, people have been asking how we are doing at the North Pole, well its cold, snowing, and did I mention cold? As of tonight the Elves are slightly ahead of schedule on the toy requests which means Santa can relax a little. Also I want to mention that Santa does NOT deliver livestock, I am more than happy to have my picture taken with them though.

I was just asked today if I will take pictures with animals, yes I will BUT no snakes. Even Santa has to draw the line someplace.

Well I will share more information as I get it. Remember all kids deserve Santa Love, and I don't care if they are 4 days to 97 years old we all have some kid in us. Try to enlarge the photo above, it was taken last year, but it is so true.

The world of Skype?

Hi,

I hope this note finds you in good health.

I want to touch on this Skype thing. First, Santa is very interested in exploring a new internet idea. Second, I would really like to use it to help with children from all over who just can't go to see Santa. I am always willing to go to a hospital if needed, but I think the Skype video is the new way to go.

So I am hoping this will work with some ground rules. I will accept calls only from Mrs. Claus and the screener at Bass Pro. I hope people will contact one of those two and they will then pass it on to me. I am hoping that I can get one more person - either elf Tasha, or elf Courtney - to help out.

Here is how I hope it will work. An adult calls one of the people above, giving information like child's name, phone number, best time to call, and why they cannot come to see Santa. My goal would be to get back with each child within 48 hours. Please give me your feedback.

It is getting closer.

It is almost time for the big guy to start.

Well hello everybody,


The time for Santa to start meeting with kids is very fast approaching. I am going to be in Harrisburg, PA again. I will be starting on November 7th and ending on December 24th., yep its another long season but I will be with people I know which will be nice.


The Photos you see here are fresh 2009 ones.


Also for the first time Santa will be Skypeing to keep in touch with Mrs. Claus and the elves. I will also Skype with kids when needed or with the H1N1 stuff...... Santa has not had the H1N1 Flu yet so everybody keep there fingers crossed and say a prayer I don't get sick when I am in Harrisburg or when I am delivering gifts to good kids.


I hope you enjoy the photos and let me know how things are going.
