Santa Claus Christmas Parades
Waving at a Santa Parade
Today is a big day! I have been eating extra cookies and mince pies. Mrs. Claus made sure my red Santa suit looks extra spiffy.
I have even been saying my “Ho! Ho! Ho!’s”! I want to make sure my belly shakes when I laugh like a bowl full of jelly!
Today I am going to be in a parade. It is the oldest Santa Claus parade of them all. (But it is not as old as I am! 
).
I love a parade. Do you? I really like that I can see so many of my friends. I get to wave to them. I get to talk to them. I really have a lot of fun.
I get to be in so many parades. I wish I could have a parade in every town! Then I could see all my friends.
If you want to see me in the parade, just visit the Santa Claus Parade 2008 video page.
I hope you can come to one of my parades. I hope you will wave to me! After all, I will be watching for you!
If you can not come to a parade, I hope you will email me to say “Merry Christmas!”.
Merry Christmas!
Santa Claus
P.S. What is your favourite part about Santa Claus parades? (Scroll down to leave your message for me or to see what others have written!)

santa i love u so much but some one is saying mean stuff about me and my family what should i do
===============
Reply from Santa:
Amber, I am very sorry to hear that people are saying mean things. What I want you to do is to go to my page People You Can Talk To. Find your country. Then call the number for it. There are great people just waiting to talk to you. They are not elves, but we like to think of them as “elves in training” anyway!
Merry Christmas!

santa, thank you for sending me a very nice letter. i have a question, michaela is sometimes bossy and sometimes nice what should i do if she says shes not my friend
================
Santa’s Reply:
Elizabeth,
It is not your fault that Michaela says and does things that aren’t nice. No one deserves to be treated like that. If anyone ever tells you they don’t want to be your friend, I want you to politely say to them “If you were a nicer person then maybe I’d want to be your friend.” And then just walk away from them.
I am very glad that you wrote to me about this. It is always good to talk to people about things that upset you. If you ever want to talk to someone about something that upsets you then I want you to go to my page People You Can Talk To. Find your country. Then call the number for it. There are great people there just waiting to talk to you. They are not elves, but we like to think of them as “elves in training” anyway!

Another good place is this page about bullying.
Remember, no one deserves to be bullied. Bullying is not cool!

hi santa i love christmas but people at school are saying mean things and saying that they dont beleive in santa and that only babies do! what should i say to them?
love sophie
=====================
Reply from Santa:
Sophie, it is ok if others don’t believe in me. Sometimes when kids and adults get older they lose their spirit of childhood. They even start to think that I don’t exist! Just remember, everyone can have their own opinion (even if it does not happen to be right! :).
If talking to your friends or other kids about this makes you mad, then it might be best not to talk to them about it. You are your own person. You do not have to believe or do something just because your friends say so! And, as long as you keep the spirit of Santa in your heart, that is what is most important!
Merry Christmas!
Santa
November 18th, 2008 at 10:43 am
Dear Santa-
I really enjoy reading everyone’s letters to you. I am quite a bit older than everyone, but just reading these blogs could put anyone at any age in a great holiday spirit!
All i ask for Christmas this year to those children less fortunate than the rest of us may they have a wonderful and warm christmas.
God bless you Santa, and i feel so happy reading about you and all of the wonderful things people say!
MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEARS!
November 18th, 2008 at 12:39 pm

i know you might not have time for what i want this year so you dont have to make such a fuss!!!!!!!!!1
November 18th, 2008 at 2:35 pm
