Regardless of what you believe in, it’s hard to deny the magic of the holiday season. I know there are varying views when it comes to telling your children about Santa, and while we can all be cynical at some point, I love to get lost in the season with my daughter’s and try to experience the magic the same way they do- for the first time.
My oldest daughter knows that her mommy is friends with Santa. She wondered why Santa would personally come to visit her each year and hand deliver presents, so I had to tell her the truth- Santa and mommy went to college together (well, it’s our truth anyway!) Santa also makes frequent phone calls to make sure the girls are staying on task and doing what they need to do to stay on the nice list, but when my oldest asked to FaceTime with Santa, I knew I had gotten in too deep! They would figure out that the man in the red suit was a relative before long, and this charade would be hard to keep up.
Thankfully the elves at Portable North Pole conjured up a great way we can keep in touch with Santa with a personalized video complete with pictures of the child! We’ve used Portable North Pole for 3 years now, and each year the girls get excited when Santa knows exactly what they want, what they’ve been up to, and listening to the naughty or nice verdict. After they watch their videos, the message remains with my girls- My oldest has to be more respectful “because Santa said so” and my youngest needs to get along with her sister. It’s real to them- because Santa really did know so much about what they have accomplished this past year!
To make a personalized video for your kids, head over to Portable North Pole. You can have Santa say your child’s name, or a pet name if you prefer- like princess, cupcake, etc. You can easily upload pictures from your computer or connect to Facebook and share those special moments- a birthday party, a vacation, an adorable picture your child made.. there’s so much you can do! Check out the video below:
The best part about the Elves at the Portable North Pole is that they give back! 5% of all web sales are donated to kids hospitals in the purchaser’s area. Last year alone, over $75,000 was donated to charity! The cost for making a video at Portable North Pole is very reasonable. For $10, you can make unlimited videos and even get a free birthday message for your child! There are other, cheaper packages you can purchase too, plus there is a FREE option which includes a story line, 2 photos of your child, and 3 minutes of video!
Right now, you can save 20% off your web or mobile order by using code BLG20BKP. So for only $8 you can get the whole package and make a video for everyone in your family! Remember- you still have that free option if you want to check it out before you buy. Just head to Portable North Pole to find out more!
You can also join the PNP communities by visiting them on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest!
What an awesome way to get Santa to communicate with a child and it only costs $10! I will have to tell my sister about this awesome way to talk to Santa. I also like that they give back to charity!
