Send Your Kids A Personalized Vid From Santa

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Real Estate Pipeline, Inc.

I remember when I was 7 years old......
Creeping down the stairs......
Hoping to see a pile of goodies left under the tree for me......
Excitement building upon seeing the plate of half-eaten cookies and an empty glass of milk......
Sooty boot tracks along the carpet that came from the fireplace (HE WAS REAL!!)
And there it was!!

A letter from Santa!!! TO ME!!!! (I literally peed myself with excitement!)

I will never forget that level of pure unbridled joy and I love seeing that same level of happiness in my kids at this time of year. Glassy eyes filled with wonder and glee at every store window...every light hung in the trees.

So, being the internet techie that I am....I sent my son a personalized video from Santa!! (Yes, I am that cool)

Oh. My. God! You would think the Heavens had split and the Glory of all that is Holy had poured right down his throat to the point of drowning him in rapture. He went NUTS!

And he was a perfect gentleman for the next 9 days til Christmas cause he was sure Santa really WAS watching him! ;-)

Figured since it worked so well on him, Id share it with you guys. (Not to mention the fact that it was just fun as can be for me...LOL!)

Check it out.... www.portableNorthPole.ca

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You pick who the video is for and fill out personal information about the recipient (including adding a picture for Santa's nice list!) and the video is emailed to any account you wish.

You can also post it on social networking sites, embed it in blogs, and send follow-up videos that share different content each time!!

Super cool!! My kid LOVED it! (As did I....) ;-)

Clint,   I know alot of people are thanking you.  I got the same link from a friend and set one up for my 3+ year old granddaughter.  I sent it to her dad (my son) who put it on his Blackberry.  Every night, when he gets home, within an hour she wants to watch it again and again and again!  This is one of the best links, for free, that I have seen this year.  I sent it out to all my data base, and got 12 thank-you emails within an hour!

Clint - thanks! Yes you are super cool for sharing this with us, I just made a vid for my granddaughter. She doesn't live in a house with computers, so she'll go nuts when she sees it on my laptop.

At looked pretty good at first, but then when I was typing this the whole thing up to send the e-mail it to popped up was something about me winning something and I couldn't get rid of it I had to close the whole site so morning if you encountered anything like that before. I will try again.

Thank you so much!!!

 

I am a relatively new member and haven't commented before until now. I just had to say a big thank you for taking the time to post this. My 9 year old daughter is going to go bananas. Most of her friends don't believe any more but she really still does and this will be the icing on the cake.

Thank you and Merry Christmas!!!

Clint - Found this thanks to Karen Fiddler's reblog!  I had so much fun putting these videos together for my two granddaughters aged 2 & 1 in South Carolina and one here in Connecticut who is 8.  My daughter-in-law in SC told me the girls loved them!!!  Can't wait to hear what my granddaughter in CT thinks when she sees hers.

I did one for my daughter and she absolutely loved it!  Being able to add the photos was what drove it home for her.  When she saw her picture in Santa's book she was sold.  Thanks so much for sharing this!
