Listen Live to Santa on Christmas Radio

Ho, ho, ho. This is Santa with some holly-jolly facts about yours truly:

Ho ho ho! Did you know my full name is Saint Nicholas? But you can call me Santa Claus!

I live at the North Pole with Mrs. Claus and a whole bunch of elves. It's always winter here, but we love it!

Rudolph isn't just famous for his red nose. He's also a great navigator, especially in foggy weather!

The reindeers love carrots and the occasional sugar cube. They need all the energy they can get for our Christmas Eve journey!

I have been around for centuries, and my look has changed over the years. The red suit became popular thanks to a Coca-Cola ad in the 1930s.
