Santa sits at his desk with the Nice and Naughty Lists open as magical lights swirl behind him, a glowing quill ready to write and a Christmas tree twinkling beside wrapped presents.

Santa’s Magical List Updates: Keeping Track of Every Child Before Christmas!

21st December 2025

Santa Claus

Santa Claus brings festive magic to children worldwide. Keeper of The Nice List, master of Christmas Eve deliveries and storyteller at The North Pole Times.

Greetings my merry friends! I have just finished a warm mug of cinnamon cocoa and thought it was the perfect moment to share some very exciting news from the North Pole. As you know, I keep two very important lists - The Nice List and The Naughty List. They help me decide who will receive presents on Christmas morning and who may, unfortunately, find a little lump of coal snuggled in their stocking instead.

But this year, things are even more magical than ever. I have added two brand new sections to each list. That is right - the Extra Nice List and the Extra Naughty List! These special lists are only for the very best and the very worst behaviour. Children who are extra kind, extra helpful or extra thoughtful might find their names shining on the Extra Nice List. And those who try very hard to ignore good behaviour altogether might hear their name whispered on the Extra Naughty List. I certainly hope I will not need that one too often!

Now, you might wonder how I keep everything up to date. After all, there are children all around the world, and Christmas is just around the corner. Thankfully, I have help. My wonderful team of elves work night and day watching, listening and reporting back to me. They send updates through my magical list-checking network - a swirling cloud of twinkling lights that lets me know exactly who is being kind, helpful and joyful, and who is still learning to make good choices.

With all these updates arriving every minute, the Nice List and Naughty List change more often than you might think! A good deed can lift a child’s name higher, and a thoughtful moment can brighten the Extra Nice List like a star. There is always time to do better, to try harder and to bring a little more cheer into the world.

If you would like to follow along with every update, I have a little treat for you. You can become a member of The North Pole Times! Members get special access to the latest changes on The Nice List and The Naughty List, including those very special Extra Nice and Extra Naughty sections. It is the best way to keep up with all my Christmas preparations.

Until next time, keep being kind, keep trying your best and keep spreading Christmas magic everywhere you go.

Merry Christmas to you all!
