Guys, this isn’t a drill. I’ve got it on great authority that Santa has started his journey. (No idea why he’s kicking it off this year so early, but he’s always worked in mysterious ways hasn’t he!)

The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) tracks Santa’s movements annually, and now you and the kids can keep an eye on his movements too – using this handy tracker; www.noradsanta.org

Hope he doesn’t drop any precious cargo over the ocean!

If you’re staying with us over Christmas, you’ll also be pleased to hear that I’ve been in contact with Santa and, well...he all but confirmed a visit to our humble paradise on Christmas Eve during the Hamilton Island Carols by Candlelight. So head down to the Frangipani Lawns from 5.30 for lots of fun, a sausage sizzle and your chance to meet Santa!
