Now is quite a good time to take a look online at The North Pole Times. For 28-years, The North Pole Times has kept children updated on all the news from Santa’s Village at the North Pole. In addition, you will be able to track Santa on his journey around the world on Christmas Eve. Lots of other stuff there too to keep you the young members of your family amused.
