NORAD’s Tracking Me Again!

Monday, December 22nd, 2008

Hello boys and girls!  This will probably be my last post here on the ol’ Sunny Santa Blog before Christmas.  I just wanted to let you know that the good folks at NORAD are once again going to be keeping track of me as I make my rounds this year.  Here’s a little capsule video summarizing last year’s excursion:

Be sure to visit the NORAD Santa site for all kinds of fun things.  They even have a special super-duper detector thingy keeping track of all of the shops up at the North Pole to decipher which one is currently the busiest.  Believe me, they’re all bustling with all kinds of holiday goodness right at the moment.

It’s now one day, 12 hours and 17 minutes until I’ll be making my way to you!

Been Busy Up Here, But We Know What You Want!

elmo250.jpgHello boys and girls!  Sorry I haven’t written in a while, but we have been working day and night getting ready to make our deliveries in another two weeks.

We’ve received tons and tons of letters and special requests this year, but just thought I’d tip you off to what seem to be the most requested toys this holiday season.  I’ll count ‘em down from number 10.

10.  Barbie iDesign- Seems like lots of little girls, and some big girls too, just love this way to design all of Barbie’s wardrobe, either just using the cards that come with it, or popping a CD-ROM into the computer.

9.  VTech V-Motion- The kiddies between 3 and 7 just love this learning gaming system which uses a wireless controller that is motion sensitive. Kids play by moving the controller around, not simply pushing buttons.  It’s like a Wii for the tots.

8.  Nerf Gun-  Hasbro’s Nerf has made a big comeback with the Nerf N-Strike series of toy guns which shoot the foam filled ammo.

7.  Bakugan- Based on the Japanese anime series Bakugan Battle Warriors, Bakugan comes uses metal cards and magnetic spring-loaded miniature figures.

6.  Elmo Live-  Once again, Elmo is a big hit this year with Elmo Live.  This Elmo sits, speaks, stands and waves.

5.  LEGO Blocks-  They’ve been around forever but they’re just as popular today as they were when they were first created.

4.  XBox 360-  The XBox is still a popular video game system, but not quite as much requested as number one on our list.

3.   Hannah Montana items-  The little girls love their Hannah Montana, from clothes to action figures.

2.   Video games-  If you have a video gaming system, or you’re just getting one for the first time, you definitely need plenty of video games and they are right up at the top of the list of requests.

1.  Nintendo Wii- This action packed gaming system has climbed to the top of the list, and we’re planning on delivering a record number of them this year!

Is there something you’re hoping to receive that you didn’t see on the list?  Then make sure you write in using the comments below and let me know what you want!  I don’t want to miss out on anything!
