The Merry Network proudly announces the launch of a special new site — ClausNET.com.

What is ClausNET.com?

ClausNET is a world wide community devoted to bringing joy and happiness to the children of the world. The ClausNET community is made up of men and women dedicated to the faithful portrayal of Santa Claus (Father Christmas, Père Noël, Kris Kringle, Sinterklas, Joulupukki…), Mrs. Claus, Elves, and all others who devote their time to bringing the magic of Christmas to children and adults throughout the world!

The primary goal is to bring together fellow Santa, Mrs. Claus, Elves, and Santa’s Helpers for the purposes of sharing; sharing stories, advice, news, and information. Additionally, it is a resource for Santa, Mrs. Claus, and Elves – new and old. But most importantly, members of ClausNET come together to build friendships.
