A Letter From Santa
 

Ho, Ho, Ho friends! 

 

The official countdown to Christmas has begun, and I am so very excited to be making my way to each of your homes on Christmas Eve! I must say that I was a bit sad to see many of my Elf Magic Elves leave the North Pole, but they have promised that they will keep me in the loop on all of their fun, adventurous Elfcapades. I can't wait to hear about all of the many adventures they will share with you this year!

Wow, the day before Thanksgiving was extremely hectic at the North Pole as the Elves prepared for their travels. They were excited to pack all of their new Elfits for their trip. Boy, my Elves sure are such fashionistas! With more than 22 Elfits to choose from, they could barely close their Snowcases! Did you know that you could create over 100 different Elfits from the Elfits in the Forever Elf Fashions Collection? They never stop amazing me with all of their creativity! Don't forget to Elfit your Elf Magic Reindeer, as they need gear to giddy up as well!

Of course, Mrs. Claus has been very busy too! To make sure that the Elves and their families have time for festive, family fun, she created the "Elf Magic Countdown to Christmas" Calendar. This calendar includes 25 fun-filled days of Christmas crafts, events and adventures! 

 

And, how could I forget? Jingle, Jangle and I had the most Elf- tastic time working with YouTube sensation MattyBRaps on his cover of Justin Bieber's Santa Claus Is Coming To Town. I can't wait for you to see my Jolly dancing moves! Gosh, we sure had fun!

 

As always, Mrs. Claus and I love to hear from you! Please keep updating us on what our Elves are up to while in your homes. We love to feature your photos on  Santa's favorite website and our Elf Magic Facebook page, so make sure to keep them coming! 

 

Remember to say your prayers. I will be coming to visit your home before you know it. 

  

I hope that you find the magic of Christmas in your everyday!

Celebrate the Festival of Lights with Hanukkah Helpers         by Elf Magic

 

By Hanukkah Helper Abram

Features Editor

  

It is no surprise that Santa loves all children and has many special friends that help him celebrate the holidays - how else do you think he is able to travel the world in just one night? One very special group of friends, Hanukkah Helpers by Elf Magic, help Jewish families around the world celebrate the Festival of Lights. And, let me tell you, these Helpers are just as adventurous as Santa's Elf Magic Elves! Hanukkah Helpers magically visit children during the Festival of Lights and enrich their lives with the timeless Hanukkah tradition. Hanukkah Helpers are also great companions during the day and often surprise the children during the night with mysterious and unpredictable adventures. When Hanukkah is over, the Helper must return home and prepare for the next year's visit. The tradition continues year after year, and each time the Hanukkah Helper visits, children (and even adults) experience the same sense of playful suspense, excitement and friendship. Click here for more information on how to begin your Hanukkah Helper tradition.
