My Merry Christmas

Elf Ernest is Santa's Vice President of Public Relations at the North Pole. He has been providing us with the Santa Updates since 1991. In these articles he answers the most common questions kids send in to the North Pole.

Once a year and only once a year Santa meets with the media. This category archives his annual interview.

They're always making lists at the North Pole.

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.

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.

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.
