Christmas is right around the corner and I think it’s time to put away the tips and have some fun and embrace the season. Here are a few Santa & Christmas goodies you might enjoy…

Remember all your favorite Christmas shows when you were little? Charlie Brown’s Christmas…It’s A Wonderful Life…The Smurfs Christmas? Dozens of Christmas classics online, all free to watch and enjoy: Watch 101 Classic Christmas Videos Online . There are over a hundred shows and videos listed, but some are no longer available.

Did you know there really was a little girl that wrote to a newspaper asking if Santa was real? Here’s the original newspaper article and the background story: Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. See the introduction here: 110 Years Ago in News History: ‘Yes, Virginia, There Is a Santa Claus’.

Have you elfed yourself yet? Still time to upload as many as four faces and send them on to friends, how cute! You could opt for the Scrooge look if you prefer ;).

Here’s a large list of free vintage Christmas recordings: Vintage Christmas Wax Revisited. If you’re looking for lyrics to your old favorite Christmas songs, check here.

Need some last minute gift tags? Here’s a bunch of printables compiled by Bella Dia, some from Angry Chicken and a list of gift tags you can make compiled by The Domestic Diva.

Do you have cats? Then you’ll totally relate to this hilarious web page: A Cats Christmas.

Need some free Christmas graphics for scrapbooking? You’ll love this: Freebies filed under Christmas

And here’s a super sweet online game for the kids to enjoy (I loved it too!) Winterbells. Just use your mouse to make the bunny jump from bell to bell.

Check out this Santa real time tracking adventure from NORAD and Google:

The countdown begins December 1st on NORAD’s website, where families can find a new kid-friendly game or activity every day until December 24th. And starting at 1:00 am PST on December 24th, you’ll be able to track Santa’s trip in real time. You can download Google Earth and add the NORAD Tracks Santa iGoogle gadget to your iGoogle page anytime, but make sure to come back to noradsanta.org on December 24th to download the special Santa Tracking file for an enhanced 3D Santa-tracking experience.

See: The Official Google Blog: Tracking Santa, then and now and NORAD Tracks Santa.

Enjoy the holidays :)!
