The Santa Claus Christmas Store now offers online shopping. Just in the “nick” of time! If you’re searching for Christmas gifts, decor, indoor and outdoor lights, collectibles and more, you’re in luck.

Get those last minutes gifts online, without even leaving your house. And it’s okay … you can shop in your pajamas, we won’t tell. Santa doesn’t judge.

The Santa Claus Christmas parade was this past weekend. And of course we had floats in it. One for Lake Rudolph and the Santa Claus Land of Lights … and also one for the new Santa Claus Christmas Store.

Dee and Savannah, with the help of several of our maintenance workers, worked very hard to get them ready in time. I don’t think I’m prejudice when I say this … they were very nice floats. But I’ll let you judge for yourselves.

Santa Claus, Indiana, made the list! The list of the top five Christmas destinations for 2009, that is.

“Santa Claus, Indiana- Can the celebration of Christmas ever be imagined without Santa Claus? Plan a tour to Santa Claus located in Indiana state and chill out in the Christmas festival. This Christmas festival is all about kids’ festivals, festivals of light, good food and good accommodation. Also, enjoy the Santa’s Candy Castle, Frosty’s Fun Center and Santa Claus Post office in the city.”

Might I also add that we have our Christmas celebration taking place for two more weekends, through December 20. The Santa Claus Land of Lights will be open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through December 20 and then nightly from December 21 through January 3. And of course don’t miss the new Santa Claus Christmas Store, which is open daily.

Read the full article here and find out what other locations made the top five.

I bet a lot of you would like a sneak peek of what Santa is bringing this Christmas season. Not too much longer to wait!

In the spirit of “sneak peeks” here is a short video tour of our Santa Claus Land of Lights. This driving tour of lights tells the story of Rudolph the Red-Nosed reindeer, who if you didn’t know was born here in Santa Claus, Indiana. We all know how Rudolph was the reindeer that led Santa’s sleigh on that foggy night … but we’re telling the rest of the story.

Enjoy!
