Merry Christmas

Christmas is here! YAY!

We hope that each and every one of you are having a fabulous Christmas. All of us up here at the North Pole are certainly enjoying the snowy and joyous day today.

We wanted to take this moment to thank everyone who purchased the Raymond the Reindeer stickers for iMessage and the North Pole Christmas Stories app this year. It costs quite a bit to keep Northpole.com running, and we truly appreciate the support of the folks who bought these items. If you enjoy Northpole.com and want to help support the site, please consider purchasing one [or both!] or these. The stickers are only $0.99, and the story app is $2.99—a small amount that will go a long way in maintaining Northpole.com

Also, thanks go out to YOU for spending part of your Christmas with us! We appreciate every single one of our visitors, and we are so happy that you came to visit Santa’s Secret Village. We do hope that you’ll spend part of next Christmas with us as well!

So, what was your favourite Christmas memory this year? Did you receive a cherished gift, try a new delicious recipe, or go ice skating with a special someone? Let us know in the comments!

Enjoy the rest of Christmas Day, and from all of us at Northpole.com, we wish you a very happy and healthy 2018!

Etsy Item of the Day: Basset Hound Ornament

One of my favourite things about the holidays is spending time with family—whether it’s sharing a meal, snuggling on the couch watching Elf, or simply relaxing together while gazing at the falling snow. My most immediate family consists of my husband and my basset hound who is my best friend. [My basset is actually sitting right next to me while I write this.] Given how much I love my dog, the ornaments on our Christmas tree are probably 50% basset- or dog-related, and this cute ornament would make a wonderful addition. Cast from an original, hand-carved wood master and then hand-painted, this basset ornament is available in tri-colour, red & white, or black & white.

Etsy Item of the Day: Christmas Basset Hound Fabric

Earlier this season, Mary wrote about holiday tea towels from Spoonflower and showcased some of her favourite designs. Well, while searching for Christmassy basset items on Etsy, I came across this pattern from Spoonflower. Oh my goodness—LOOK AT THE CUTENESS. Featuring tri-colour basset hounds, Christmas puddings, mistletoe, and more festive goodies, this fabric is amazingly adorable. If I knew how to sew, I’d be making myself a dress out of this fabric stat. Purchase this fabric from Spoonflower’s Etsy shop or directly from their website.

Mesmerizing Cookie Creations

Tomorrow night Santa will be making his grand trip around the world and eating cookies that folks leave out for him. Since we elves adore sweet treats as well, Mrs. Claus always bakes us extra cookies to enjoy on Christmas Eve. In honour of tomorrow’s cookie extravaganza, I pulled together some cookie decorating videos that are truly fascinating. The amount of effort put into each cookie is astonishing, and watching these videos is actually kind of relaxing. Check ’em out below!

What cookies do you like to eat during the holidays? Let me know in the comments below!
