Do your nieces and nephews enjoy writing letters to Santa each year? Are you looking for the perfect holiday card to send to family members? Here are some great ideas to help you get started on your holiday greetings!

Sealed By Santa

This site offers personalized letters for kids this holiday season, which includes their names, accomplishments, and holiday wish lists. Each letter comes signed from Santa Claus, with a postmark from the North Pole, a red wax seal, reindeer food, and a free personalized North Pole Video that can be shared with the entire family. The personalized videos from Santa are free to download and watch throughout the holiday season. You can also enjoy 10 additional videos—a great way to remind your nieces and nephews to be good in order to stay on the “nice list” all year round!

The Santa Claus Message Service

This free service makes communicating with Santa easy and fun for the kids in your life who still believe. Little callers will be able to hear a unique daily holiday message from Santa Claus himself, starting from Thanksgiving Day through Christmas. Your nieces and nephews can simply call 218-936-2100 and hear Santa’s daily message, and then they can choose to leave Santa a private or public message of their own. All the public messages on the Santa Message service are reviewed and edited by the CallAll staff to ensure their safe playback for kids of all ages.

For each call received on the CallAll Santa Message service, CallAll LLC will make a donation to the Joslin Diabetes Center High Hopes fund. Callers are also encouraged to consider donating directly to Joslin by visiting their High Hopes Fund website. So Aunties can share in the fun and feel good that the call is benefiting the research for a cure to childhood diabetes!
