I WISH you all the Hap-Hap-Hap-Happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby danced with Danny Kaye.....

And to stay in tune with the Pagan Rites that are upon us, I thought to visit a few sites that relate to this celebration of Peace, Happiness and burned-out credit cards.

There were many sites to choose from some very good, some not, but all in good spirit.



The highest ranking site in the search engines is WWW.SANTAS.NET. This site describes how Christmas is celebrated in many different countries of the world. Not much design, but loads of content. Well worth visiting.

Then there is the Merriest Place in Cyber Space, the home of Claus on the web, WWW.CLAUS.COM. This is an excellent site with loads of links to Claus related subjects. Great little cartoons, partly in Flash. Your kids will love this one!!! The site describes itself: "Santa Claus has the Village full of new fun this year for both kids and parents. Check your Naughty or Nice rating on the new Nice-O-Meter(tm). Visit the new Toy Workshop to choose your personal Elf Buddy and see the most incredible Toy Making Machine yet. At Santa's House, see him playing basketball and having snowball fights on the The Santa Show. You can even listen to original Claus.com Christmas songs and see a fully animated cartoon! Play with the reindeer in the new Reindeer Barn. Play games in Elf School. Print your Honorary Elf Diplomas. Try funny holiday recipes. Send E-mail to Santa Claus. Follow Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. And much more. To get started, click on any Village building or the text links below. Have fun and come back often!" These people really understand what the internet is all about!!! This site deserves 6 out of 5.

I also visited WWW.NORTHPOLELETTER.COM this website sells personalized letters from Santa. Great idea and uses the available technology well. The say: "Imagine . . . if that something was a letter from Santa Claus himself, in his handwriting... And what if that letter said exactly why you were good this year and what you wanted for Christmas? Now you can give that thrill to the special child in your life... or even to an adult who's a child at heart!"

Children can track Santa's progress on the web again this Christmas. The North American Aerospace Defence Command will monitor where Santa is in the world as he delivers presents. Kids can also see pictures of Santa caught on Santacams at landmarks around the world on the Norad website. Santa's globetrotting will feature on the Internet at www.noradsanta.org, from 7 am December 24 to 2 am December 25. NORAD, which is responsible for air defence over Canada and the US, began tracking Santa for kids more than 40 years ago. The tradition started after a shop advertisement for kids to call Santa on a special "hotline" included a misprinted telephone number - putting callers through to NORAD. Officers answering phones had to tell children where Santa was up to on his travels round the globe. At the time of my visit the site was down :( So no rating.



WWW.SANTACLAUSONLINE.COM is not designed at all, but has loads of cool links and many cute pictures to download.

"Freehold, Iowa - Satan's evil plan has created jobs for hundreds of thousands of old lecherous pedophiles throughout this Godly country every December. These filthy homeless hobos just lay on their urine-stained cardboard beds 11 months out of the year, dreaming of Christmas when they can drunkenly traipse into the warmth of departments stores and have innocent little Christian children sit on their vermin-infested laps. Unwary parents happily snap pictures while Satan's obese wheezing drunks ask their children whether they've been "bad" and whisper lewd suggestions in their angelic little ears with their filthy booze-breath and cigarette-discolored lips. How many unsuspecting tots have suffered a quick grope before Satan's little helper moves on to the next hopeful child in line?" Although this website 'hopefully' represents only the view of few, it scared the living daylight out of me. http://www.landoverbaptist.org/news1299/santy.html
