27 Nov 2009Twitter has something for everyone, and for those celebrating Christmas, users are setting up festive accounts for the naughty and the nice among us. So I searched for hours through each one and found my favorites to present to you.
From Christmas tips to Christmas countdowns to interactive Santa’s helpers, we are sure you will find one you enjoy.
A warning up front, some are naughty and some are nice, so if you see one that you don’t like, well… don’t follow them. That’s the beauty of twitter, there is something for everyone this holiday season.
This user encourages you to “Name That Christmas Tune!” Each letter stands for a word in a Christmas song, title or refrain. Send an @reply to guess the song! The current tweets state that gameplay starts on November 27, 2009 but it does look like fun!
The official page of NORAD Tracks Santa, providing up-to-the-minute information on Santa’s journey! You will meet “Bitz the Twittering Elf,” who runs the account. You can also visit the website Noradsanta.org to track Santa via Google Earth and visit an interactive North pole beginning in December.
This user boasts: “Love to cook? Join me in Santa’s Village and lets stir up some food.” But this blogger does a bit more than that with some cool Christmas tips and ideas that are sure to inspire you with some holiday cheer.
Want to know exactly how much time there is until Christmas day down to the exact second? Well look no further than this user who has a countdown built right in for your enjoyment (or stress, depending on if you are finished shopping or not!)
Well it appears that Santa Claus (or his helper) has set up a twitter account that allows you to ask if you ended up on the naughty or nice list. This user is pretty interactive and the answers are lots of fun.
This Twitter user’s bio reads: “I’m Eddie- a hardworking elf looking for a new job where I can spread some of my holiday cheer!” A quick read of the tweets reveals it’s a corporate account run by Shoe Carnival, but I must say that I am interested in watching this one. So far he has revealed his profile on LinkedIn and even gotten upset when he wasn’t called for the Elf Yourself Flashmob event
Last but not least, a drunk Santa Claus that not only makes a naughty list, he more than deserves to be on it this holiday season. Now a warning up front on this holiday twitter account, it’s much more naughty than it is nice, but it’s definitely lots of fun for a giggle when you need to relieve some of that holiday stress! He also has a naughty and nice list, so be careful, he knows when you are tweeting!
Hope you enjoy this list. If you find others, let us know in the comments section.
Happy Holiday Tweeting!
