Today is one of the most exciting events of the season in the Village. It's the 312th Annual North Pole 500 Sleigh Race. Santa Claus will once again take the reins of his sleigh which serves as the official pace sleigh for the first lap. Then the elves with the fastest sleighs in the Village will compete for the coveted first prize: Elevator shoes.

SANTA'S JOB JUST GOT EASIER! Santa's head elf reported today to the Holiday Post that while Santa was high up in the sky testing out his new sleigh, the fog, rain and snow was so bad that it was really hard to see through. When the elves heard this, they quickly set to working on a new gadget that lights up to help Santa Claus locate houses from below. They call it the Santa Beacon. Buy Now!
The interiors of all the doll houses will be wallpapered. Production will begin on all the ant farms and plastic dinosaurs. Also in production is a dinosaur musical CD, "Tyrannosaurus Rocks."		Thanks to his new Sleigh Phone, you can call Santa on Christmas Eve. Santa will tell you how close he is to YOUR house! Parents can click here for details on this exciting new experience.
