Santa Cam 2023!

A Grumpy Old Elf answers your questions about the Santa Webcam:

• Why can't I hear anything on the North Pole Santa cam?
  What, you can't hear anything? Well, check your ears for tinsel or turkey! That's what keeps happening to Clumsy the Elf!  But if you still can't hear anything, it might be because Santa had to turn the sound off on the live Santa cam. Us elves are WAY too noisy! We kept cheering whenever someone made the Nice List. Or we'd shout out someone's name when we finished making a present for them. Santa didn't want anyone to know that stuff of course. Yes, the North Pole can be very, VERY noisy. And I won't even mention the time we all ate Rootin' Tootin' magic beans for lunch! Trust me -- you did NOT want to hear that!
• Why does the Santa Cam screen keep going all weird and black & white and scrolly?
  Ah yes, the fuzzy webcam screen. At the North Pole Santa just calls it the 'Clumsy screen'. Clumsy the Elf keeps tripping over the webcam cords every time he walks by Santa's office. And gGuess what? Clumsy walks by Santa's office camera a lot.
• When I watch Santa Claus live, what does he keep having on his bum?
  At the North Pole Santa gets lots of silly tricks played on him by the elves. The elves love to put silly signs on Santa's back. When you're watching a Santa Claus live video you might see silly signs like "I Need A Hug", "Elves Rule!" or "Cookie Monster". Oh wait, I think it's Mrs. Claus that keeps putting that sign on him.
• What is Santa doing right now?
  Well, right now Santa is right here on his webcam. Yes, I'm quite sure that's what Santa is doing right now, having fun with the elves and Mrs. Claus at the North Pole. You can watch them right here too doing all kinds of fun things!
• Can I see Santa at the North Pole?
  Of course you can see Santa at the North Pole! Right here on the Santa webcam of course. Why? Where did you want to see Santa? Riding around in an itsy bitsy tiny car? Hmm, well, if you watch the Santa cam maybe you could see Santa at the North Pole riding around in an itsy bitsy tiny car.
• Are there really reindeer and elves and Mrs. Claus on the Santa cam?
  Of course Mrs. Claus, the elves and reindeer are on the Santa live video webcam! The whole North Pole family is here. Who else do you think keeps bringing cookies in for Santa Claus live? Now elves, as you know, are quite shy and very fast around cameras. So they are harder to spot. Santa tricks the elves sometimes by getting his little helpers to come in and play in a bouncy castle or do other silly things. And the reindeer? You'll see lots of video of reindeer poking their heads around the Santa Claus office live camera. Sometimes the elves think it should be called the reindeer webcam. Just watch out for the GrinchyClaus! For real!
• Is there a reindeer cam?
  Well, there's Dasher and Dancer and... Wait a second. Are you trying to trick me? There's no reindeer called Cam! Sure, there's always reindeer showing up with Santa live on camera. But I don't think I've seen a reindeer Cam. Rudolph? All the time. Cupid's there too. Vixen is a little shy, so not so much. Prancer is always looking for votes to guide Santa's sleigh.  So, yes, you can see Prancer and Santa Claus live from the North Pole. But a reindeer Cam? Next thing, you're going to be asking about Santa Cam! (It's Santa CLAUS, btw, NOT Santa CAM!). Great roasting chestnuts!
• What is a Santa Cam?
  Oh, you just had to go and ask what a Santa Cam is didn't you! Now I'm a really grumpy elf! I told you, it's Santa CLAUS, not Santa CAM! I think I'll have to go watch Santa on his North Pole webcam. Now that's a Santa cam!
• Santa Watch?
  Of course there's a Santa watch! How else would Santa know how long it is until Christmas after all!  He can't spend all his time visiting on his Santa camera. Why do you ask? Do you want to watch the Santa watch here on the Santa watcher we call the Santa webcam? Which watch are you watching then? Now you've just made me grumpy again with a headache from all this watching!
