What is ClausNet?
The ClausNet Santa Claus Network is the world's largest community of men and women dedicated to the faithful portrayal of Santa Claus (St. Nicholas, Father Christmas, Père Noël, Kris Kringle, Sinterklas, Babbo Natale, Ded Moroz, Joulupukki...), Mrs. Claus, Elves, Reindeer Handlers, and all others who devote their time to bringing the magic of Christmas to children and adults throughout the world!
The ClausNet Santa Claus Network is not a Santa Claus organization, club, or group. There are no dues, fees, titles, or elections.
The primary goal of this site is to bring together fellow Santa, Mrs. Claus, and Elves for the purposes of sharing stories, advice, and information. ClausNet is a resource for Santa, Mrs. Claus, and Elves - new and old. But above all else we come together here to build and continue friendships.
