You might remember me telling you about a direct phone line to Santa Claus.   Well, I am so honored to report that Kris Kringle himself responded in the comments.  While he did take issue with the commercialization of the season, he was kind enough to leave the link to his blog, so that you and your little ones can keep up with his daily goings-on.

Thanks, Nick. 

Incidently, when I visited his site, I commented to my husband about its color scheme.

"Funny," I said.  "I would have thought his site would've been more red and green — you know, more festive."

"Why," Marcus asked.  "What color is it?"

"Blue."

"Well, it is cold at the North Pole," he responded.

Enjoy.
