Yes Virginia, There Is A Santa Claus!

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.

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 .
