Christmas cheer!

Computer Kids director April Jones on Christmas games Now that we are approaching the festive season there will be a wealth of Christmas websites full of games and activities for children.

Now that we are approaching the festive season there will be a wealth of Christmas websites full of games and activities for children.

Both www.northpole.com and www.billybear4kids.com (click on holidays and then the Christmas link) are sites packed with activities, puzzles, Christmas and personalised stories, colouring pages and e-mail Santa pages.

Each site has good and not-so-good sections, so it is worthwhile spending a bit of time deciding on the best bits of each.

Writing to Santa online is a popular activity and you don't always need to have an e-mail address. Some sites respond immediately with an onscreen letter, while others send an automated response by e-mail. The sites above all have e-mail Santa sections; also try www.emailsanta.com to choose from a range of colourful stamps and include carrots for the reindeers!
