NorthPole.com

It's a place of dreams and merriment. That, until the Internet, lived only in our hearts. Now the North Pole real and interactive. It has stories and games and recipes. There's sections for kids (who can schedule a live phone call with Santa or write him a letter) and parents and teachers. It's quite a site and I'm happy that it's out there. It's hours of good holiday entertainment, so go explore!

Let the dream live on! And never stop believing in Santa Claus...
