Santa Claus gives his beard its annual pre-flight trim.

This morning, Santa Claus gives his long white beard its final trim until after his Christmas Eve flight. He likes to do this early in December, so that he doesn't fly off with a "just clipped" look. By Christmas Eve, it will have grown back to just the way he likes it for his long flight.

SANTA'S JOB JUST GOT EASIER!

Santa's head elf reported today to the Holiday Post that while Santa was high up in the sky testing out his new sleigh, the fog, rain and snow was so bad that it was really hard to see through. When the

elves heard this, they quickly set to working on a new gadget that lights up to help Santa Claus locate houses from below. They call it the Santa Beacon. Buy Now!

Follow Santa's progress on Christmas Eve with the Santa Spotter on claus.com. Check how many cookies he eats and how many glasses of milk he drinks as he makes his way around the world!

The elves will test to make sure the decks of magic cards are full of tricks. The teeth will be put into the nutcrackers. All sandbox pails and shovels will be finished.
