Do you know anyone who would like to receive a personalized message from Santa this Christmas?
Thanks to Santa's Portable North Pole (PNP) console, that's exactly what can happen.

The site allows the user to prepare a message for toddlers, children or adults. A toddler (infant to three years of age) will receive a short message from Santa, children (three years of age and up) will have a special moment with Santa, and adults will receive a message from their friend, family member or colleague.
Once the sender has chosen an age category, they can personalize the message down to the child's hair and eye color and what your relationship is with the receiver – child or adult.

It then asks you questions about the receiver and your answers to these questions will go into the message.
You can also add a photo and enter what kind of gift the receiver is going to receive.
The sender can preview the message before it is sent to the receiver, it can be shared, and you're done!
The receiver will get the message in an e-mail and this is free, but you can also download the message to your computer for $4.99.
You can also experience PNP on your mobile phone by downloading the application to your iPhone, iPod or iPad.
This is a fun and inexpensive way to make a child in your life feel special and let them know that they've done a good job this year, or let them know that they have some work to do before Santa gets here.
