A personalized Santa video for the kids
Forget the old fashioned letter from Santa. Santa will send your son or daughter a personalized video message directly from the North Pole.
Last year, Simon Cohen blogged about a new web service brought to you by Sympatico / MSN which allowed you to work with Santa to create your very own custom made video message from jolly old Saint Nick himself. I checked it out, made my own video and was truly impressed with the results. In fact, I enjoyed the video so much that as I was watching it, my husband asked me what I was laughing at. Through Portable North Pole (PNP) communications technology, your son or daughter (or husband or wife) can have a fun personalized video from Santa emailed to them after just a few moments of easy work from your end. Oh, and of course, the service is free to use.
To create your Santa video, you simply answer a few questions about the recipient such as their name, age, where they live, etc. You can also upload a photo of the recipient to have included in the video and provide details on what they want for Christmas and whether they’ve been naughty or nice.
After you’ve created your personalized Santa video, you’ll be given a private URL for the video, which you can then show to your little one, or share with friends and family.
Check it out and let us know what you think!

My only wish is that Santa said all the names of the children. Less commom nams are not on the “list”, so in 2 of the 3 videos for my grandchildren, he says nothing when he should have said the child’s name (as he did in the 3rd video).

hey Amber – I had the same problem! I have a Mac too – If you are using Safari you probably can’t open it but try downloading Firefox (just search for firefox on the ‘net) or another browser. I couldn’t access the message using safari but had no problem with firefox.

I love that it is free and would be willing to pay even a small fee if there were multiple messages from Santa. I created this for my girls who are 9 & 5 and the beginning part of Santa’s message is exactly the same. I am unable to use it because they would figure out that it is the same video just changing the information. Would you please consider the change for next year. Thanks! Merry Christmas!

Great site – BUT – why in the heck do they have to run ads for a movie with Meryl Streep and ‘One of the Baldwin brothers’ being intimate on the same screen and not allow you to disable it??? Great message for kids….thanks PNP…
