Santa has always been on the leading edge of technology, and that’s no different today. On the social Internet, Santa has multiple Facebook pages, Facebook groups and Twitter accounts.

If you think St. Nick has left the Web site world behind completely in favor of new media, think again. NorthPole.com is a great site with e-mails to Santa; activities for parents and kids; and classroom plans for teachers. It truly provides something for everyone.

And as the big night comes around and the anticipation builds, the world can track Santa’s flight plan on NoradSanta.org. The site is available in several languages, acknowledging that Santa is a true international figure.

As he does every year, the Jolly Ole Elf shows that he knows how to connect to his fans like nobody else.
