Merry Christmas Eve Patchers!
I'm sure you've heard of the NORAD Santa Tracker, but you can also track Santa on Google which seems to show a higher number of presents delivered and I like that... But it's a really cute interface (perhaps more kid-friendly) - click around, there's a lot of fun stuff to play with/watch. Really good.
If you're baking cookies for Santa and need some chocolate shavings, or want to make him s'mores instead, use your hair dryer! Weird, but sounds like it works great.

When you're all done with wrapping, cooking, baking & everything else to prep for Santa's Big Day and maybe just want to chill with some entertaining podcasts, here are a few of my favorites:
Girl on Guy - Aisha Tyler (adult content)
WTF with Mark Maron (also, adult content)
Wait, Wait... Don't Tell Me (from NPR)
Car Talk (also from NPR)

For all the Instagram photos you might snap during the holiday, here's how you can make stuff out of them...
Printstagram
I made a few Calendagrams from mine - no idea how they're going to turn out - first time using these guys.
Last year I made a really nice square-format calendar on Mixbook, but you'll need the higher-resolution photos off your phone for that to work well - the Instagram format is too small to print well at 12'x12".
Have a holly jolly Christmas!
