As Christmas Eve is upon us we wanted to send you our warmest wishes for a Merry Christmas and a big thank you for your support this season. Here are just a few reminders of things we have going on for your Christmas Eve fun!

While we track Santa at Santa Update we wanted to let you know that we've set up a mirror site at Santa.US.com to help handle all the millions of folks who track Santa with us. Please bookmark both sites just in case you can't get on one site you'll be able to find the other.

Operation Merry Christmas has been in full swing since Thanksgiving and the dramatic conclusion comes this week as the frantic effort to get things ready wraps up.

Get Santa tracking updates at least every fifteen minutes on Christmas Eve as Santa goes around the world but be sure to check in often before Christmas Eve to keep up with the storyline -- there is so much happening at the North Pole this week as we celebrate our 20th year of tracking Santa Claus!

The Big Christmas Show ~ The Merry Podcast

The Big Christmas Show featuring YOU and the greetings sent by our members is now available for download. This episode also includes a feature on Nat King Cole's Christmas song and something called Vader, Did You Know?.

It is also broadcast on MCR2 at 1pm and 8pm USA Eastern time each night through Christmas.

Our effort to help a few families in need is coming up a little short this year. (Charities from all over are having a tough time).

If you can help out just a little to help us bring in that last $500 by spreading the word and passing the hat, we'd greatly appearciate it. This year's families are facing a variety of employment and health situations that are preventing Christmas for them.

It's never too late or too early to give the Sweet Treats of Christmas, our first cookbook featuring the holiday favorite desserts gathered from our members. This collection was brainstormed over the summer and produced as a fund raiser for Santa's Sleigh. More than 300 recipes from around the world are included from folks you likely know! Check it out and order your copy today!

Every so often we come across something so spectacular that it's hard to contain the excitement. This Christmas, bring a new type of joy into your home by proving that Santa came to visit. Better than the letter in Mom's handwriting, the faint sounds of bells before bed, or even reindeer tracks outside in the snow. TheSantaVideo.com provides flawless video proof of the big guy's visit that is sure to reinstate belief into those on the verge, and amaze those little ones that still idolize Santa. TheSantaVideo.com is a special place where in just seconds you can create flawless video proof of Santa's visit to your home. Not only is the process astonishingly simple, but very fun to create as well.

The magic takes place in just three steps. First, upload a photo of the room where you would like Santa to appear. Next, choose one of several adorable Santa skits to overlay onto your photo. You may pick from Santa eating milk and cookies, leaving presents under your tree, and wiping off soot after coming down your chimney! For an extra magical touch you may add a festive musical clip to your video. Pat yourself on the back Mama and Papa Elf, because you have a Christmas moment ahead that will be sure to leave your whole family with wonderful memories for years to come! Create Your Video Here
