Ho Ho Ho, Merry Twitter!

That’s right kids, even Santa has joined Twitter. Follow him at @santaclaus25 and the Mrs. too at @mrsclaus25.

When you check the Web site they list in their Twitter profile, it goes back to WelcometotheNorthPole.com, which appears to mostly be a site of forums where you can discuss everything from elves to reindeer to holiday treats.

I figured when I clicked on the site it would be some kind of money maker. After all, if you had a holiday site, wouldn’t that be a clever way to drive business there? Set up Twitter handles for Santa and Mrs. Claus with updates on what the Jolly Old Elf and his first lady are up to in prep for the holidays? I think so, but no money maker that I can see. Could someone be doing this out of the goodness of their heart?

Here are some of Santa’s “tweets”:

• Shhhh the elves are tucked in and finally sleeping. @mrsclaus25 and I are off to bed.
• Early dinner and then @mrsclaus25 and I will be starting to make lunches for all 932 elves. They want traditional PB&J for the first day.
• Elves back at school tomorrow. They (and @mrsclaus25) are VERY nervous.Please send words of encouragement and we will read them to the elves.

And you can “tweet” Santa and he’ll answer back! Now, I’ve got to go find Rudolph on Twitter. I mean can’t Santa show Rudolph how to type?

(By the way 121 days till Christmas)
