Well, it's already that time of year again!

The Elf On the Shelf This is one of my favorites. Our elf usually is sent to us every year by Santa about this time. I so relieved too, it remind them to be good because our elf is reporting back to Santa.

Santa Claus Animation Station offers hundreds of activities for kids of all ages. You can send Santa your Christmas list, step inside Santa's house to watch as he and Mrs. Clause prepare for the holidays and what child wouldn't love the chance to watch the elves at work in the toy shop! There seems to be no end to the fun and magic found at Santa's Animation Station.

North Pole shows what's happening in Santa's Secret Village. Kids can create their own story book, play games, read Christmas stories, write a letter to Santa and send Christmas Postcards to their friends.

Elf Yourself is back. Transform yourself, your friends, family, and even your pets into dancing elves. Choose the style of music and costumes then, when you are finished send your Christmas Elf Yourself video to family and friends. It makes a great animated Christmas greeting.

Norad is where your kids can track Santa with the best tracking devices. You will always know where Santa is and where his next stop will be. When night falls, light up the town with your mouse so Santa can find his way... take a virtual sleigh ride, explore the night sky, read stories, and play hand bells.

The Kidz Page offers coloring pages, jigsaw puzzles, cartoons, movies, and much more to keep your child entertained and happy.

Kidsheart has thought of everything from dressing up Elves to playing musical Christmas Bells. There are jigsaw puzzles, interactive nativity scenes, a Christmas Gift hunt, and so much more. Your child will be busy for hours with Kidsheart.com

Design Your Own Gingerbread House is great fun for all ages.

Merry-Christmas.com You'd expect a site called "Merry Christmas" to be fun, and here are more games, MP3s of Christmas carols (like the well-known "Bring A Torch, Jeanette Isabella"), recipes, films, stories and traditions.

Top Shelf offers Christmas jokes, games, crafts, Christmas Carols and so much more to keep kids busy while waiting for Santa Clause.
