December is a time to relax a little bit at the office (yeah, right!) and have some holiday fun. What could be more fun than surfing the ’net for some holiday cheer during your break or lunch hour? Okay, you’re right: Drinking some holiday cheer might prove more fun. But you’re at work, remember?! Check out these Christmahanukwanza sites we found for you:

TRACKING SANTA (www.noradsanta.org) Beginning Dec. 1, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) launches its annual URL where, with the help of Google Earth 3D, one can track Santa Claus’s progress around the world.

SENT BY SANTA (http://sentbysanta.com) is a great site if you have kids (or are a kid at heart). You can register there to have a letter sent from Santa that looks like it came from the North Pole. Speaking of the North Pole, www.northpole.com has a lot of fun X-mas stuff on it, too.

HANNUKAH SONGS are in poor supply, according to Adam Gardner and Dave Schneider whose band The LeeVees intends to fill the gap with several original rockin’ tunes available on their CDs. Watch their “How Do You Spell Channukkahh?” video and download some sample tunes (http://theleevees.com).

JEWISH GRAPHICS are available at www.myspace.com/jewishlayout. If you’re looking for some clip art graphics such as spinning dreidels and blinking Stars of David, this is the website you’ve been dreaming of.

CELEBRATING KWANZA is an African-American tradition. Check out this incredible array of handmade African baskets at http://basketsofafrica.com and unique crafts from around the world at www.dfbgcards.com. Both sites are perfect Christmahanukwanza gifts. (TIP: add these URLS to your “Gifts” bookmarks for unusual gift-giving throughout the year).

NAUGHTY OR NICE? Go to www.dumbspot.com to take a silly quiz and find out how you rate on Santa’s list this year. Have some eggnog while you cruise this site’s many holiday jokes and games.

HOLIDAZE: Are there just too many holidays to keep track of? Kaboose (http://holidays.kaboose.com) offers free crafts ideas, recipes, printables, clip art, and holiday activity ideas for just about any holiday on the calendar.
