Christmas Coloring Pages

Ask Elf Ernest
He is Santa's Vice President of Public Relations and an expert on all things Christmas. And, yes -- he is an elf. For more than a dozen years now, Elf Ernest has fielded questions from believers all over the world and has provided clear, concise answers about some of the most perplexing mysteries of Santa Claus. Elf Ernest also publishes the world-famous Update from the North Pole each day from Thanksgiving through Christmas every holiday season.

Santa Speaks
Every year we publish Santa's Annual Interview with the media. Santa talks about people who oppose him, why he won't get a new suit, the proper way to send letters to Santa, how he has managed to stay with Mrs. Claus for all these years and the top speed he's ever acheived on the sleigh. Santa is also a wry observer of popular culture and isn't shy when it comes to opinions about Christmas, the blatant overuse of his likeness and the excesses of the season. Kids love him -- and adults are surprised that Santa is such a candid character about Christmas in today's world.

North Pole Top Ten Lists
We're always making lists here at the North Pole.

Elf Ed Zachary
He is not your every day elf. He is a little cantankerous, a little edgy and sometimes a bit, well, impatient. He is also absolutely brilliant. When the more dubious kids out there ask the really tough questions, nobody can explain the mysteries of Santa Claus better than Elf Ed. As Ed likes to say, when you want it Ed Zachary right, he's your guy. But we must warn you. Elf Ed doesn't pull any punches. We wouldn't recommend getting smart with him. He's very old. And he doesn't like people who think they are smarter than he is. Elf Ed writes regular columns for the North Pole Gazette. We reprint a few classics here every year.

Santa Sightings
Believe it or not, there are still people in the world who just don't believe in Santa Claus. For you skeptics, here are actual stories of real, close encounters with Santa Claus. We have asked everyone from NASA to the FBI to validate these claims from our readers. But almost all of them have said you'd never believe it unless you saw it for yourself. We report, you decide.

The Science of Santa
Ok, you asked for it and we're not kidding around. This new section of the North Pole on My Merry Christmas addresses the controversial question of Santa's existence head on. Not for the faint of heart.
