Update On Presents Direct From Santakinz!
December 25th, 2009

Good news, everyone! We've received word from Santakinz himself that his long journey across the whole of Webkinz World has begun! Unfortunately, after hurrying from his workshop to make up for time lost from oversleeping, he ran head long into a snowstorm!

Though Santakinz has now begun to make his way from room to room, delivering presents to Webkinz around the world, the snow is keeping him from making his journey faster. He told us to let everyone know that he is well on his way to everyone’s rooms, but he needs time in order to complete his trip around Webkinz World safely. He said not to worry, though, as everyone will receive their gifts sometime today!

We're glad to hear that Santakinz is weathering the storm and working hard to get us all the presents! Keep enjoying yourself in Webkinz World with all our Christmas activities, and if you haven’t recieved your presents yet, don't worry: Santakinz is on his way!

 Keep checking back here on Webkinz Insider for updates!'

Even Santakinz needs a break every now and then! Most of us have already recieved 12 cute Christmas gifts from Birdy, a Christmas wish from Santakinz, the Delux members - extra points, and tons of fun over the last 2 weeks, etc....

I'm sure we'll get them, just be patient.

This is so like Ganz, but they've got a lot of explaining to do if the Asian accounts don't get their gifts ..... I set my alarm to get up to get them this morning before midnight and am not a happy camper at the moment.

The clock is ticking on the Asian accounts, soon it will not be Christmas. So does this mean Asian miss out. I'm not happy, lol You all probably already guessed that.

Thanks for the information.

I really don't see an "apology" in their statement. They didn't apologize when they ended the Christmas contest 12 hours early either. They did extend the contest, but there was no mention of their "mistake". They acted like the mistake never happened and said it was because of popular demand that they extended it. This time, they are blaming their mistake on Santakinz---saying he slept in.

They should deliver the presents through Kinzpost now, since a lot of families spend the time today together, and NOT on the computer; then everyone will get their gifts. Most people can't continue to keep checking. I have to go spend time with my family soon and I most likely won't have access to a computer.

Happy Holidays, everyone!

I feel like Ganz has already gone above and beyond anything that they had to do for anyone this year. If they are late, their late!

Relax, there is plenty of things to do today.
