The Best Christmas Web Sites Online

Christmas on the internet is like no other place and time!

The holiday season comes alive on the internet as those with a passion for the sights, sounds, smells and wonder of Christmas lavish their creativity on page after page of games, music, stories, crafts, history and just plain talking about Christmas. Memories and dreams intermix freely in a wonderland of small amateur virtual communities and big professional web sites alike.

From this enormous volume of Christmas web sites, there are a few that stand out from the rest. Noncommercial (they're not just there to sell you things) and nonjudgemental (Baby Jesus sleeps peacefully beside Santa Claus), perhaps above all, these web sites have managed to capture the true essence of Christmas - with all it's red and green gaudy glory, it's blue and silver peace from Heaven and it's noisy, every which color celebration of the exuberance of kids, old fashioned Christmas cards, high tech electronic gadgetry and more food and drink than any other time of the year. And the parties. The sleigh rides. The caroling...

My Merry Christmas
http://www.mymerrychristmas.com/
One of the best all around Christmas web sites, it's filled with explanations of traditions, legends, music, stories, how-to's and more. A lot more. Let The Merry Jukebox fill your home with Christmas music, send an ecard, become a Secret Spy for Santa, join the forums (amazingly abuzz year 'round), check out the Christmas news and so much more that you can get lost for hours in this place. Everything Christmas is here and it may be the only site you'll ever have time to explore but don't stop yet!

North Pole
http://www.northpole.com/
This one is geared to kids of all ages. Games, stories to read or listen to, puzzles, recipes, and coloring pages fill the site. Parents and educators get a royal welcome here as the "Elf Pal Academy" offers such activities as word searches, math puzzles, coloring, telling time and more - all interactive Christmas fun so the kids won't even know they're learning.
