Default Santa sites for the kids

Hi Everyone,

As Xmas is fast approaching, I thought I would post up these two websites so the kids can track Santa on Christmas Eve and also receive a personal video message from Santa.

Merry Christmas

Personal Video from Santa

Track Santa's Journey

Cheers Coll

That Santa tracker is pretty good. I dont use it anymore...kids are too old and too wise for it now.

I did send my mother-in-law a personal message from Santa though... You are never too old to enjoy Christmas

The Personal Video from Santa was big hit with my little ones last year.

I'm happy to see it's running again.

I remember when my Gran personally delivered my santa letter to santa when she was in Finland when I was younger.

The sites are good. Except Santa message will not work for me. When asking for where you live it won't recognize the postcode, when I check the I don't know/pnp does not recognize it just keeps refreshing the page asking for a state or province but does not even offer that feature.

It did that to me too so I picked Sweden or somewhere and it progressed to the next step. Then I went back a step, put in my postcode and it let me progress.

Funnily enough, it doesn't use your details in the video (that I saw) so you can prob just pick whatever you want.

My little girl watched it and smiled, but I think at 9mths she was just happy to be allowed to play with the laptop

HeHe just spent 1/2 hour playing the games at the Norad Site (truth be know it's one of my all time favourites) - who said Xmas is just for kids. But it's a bit rough when you struggle with the lights on the Xmas tree and your kid comes along and does twice as good in half the time!!

I did my daughter, fiance and mum. Not overly keen on the options for why an adult has been nice, especially when sending to mum. But I got it done lol.

Thanks for these Col.

I have a 9yo Granddaughter (amongst others) who doesn't really believe in Santa, but is prepared to if it means she gets more presents
