When my kids were at the age that their belief is Santa was beginning to fade, we tried the standard tricks to keep it going just a little longer. You know, leaving a jingle bell by the fireplace or maybe a personal note from Santa. Pretty lame efforts really. Now technology is making it even easier for parents. Today I discovered a really fun website, icaughtsanta.com.
At icaughtsanta.com you can easily upload a picture of your living room, Christmas tree, or fireplace. That picture becomes the background for your project. Next you select from a variety of Santa poses to insert into your picture. You can have Santa placing gifts under the tree. Or, like I picked, taking a quick snooze! Doesn't it look like he's really asleep by my tree?
Once you get your picture (under ten bucks) you can download it, email it, share it to facebook and twitter, or even send it right over to Walgreen's to be printed.
As a bonus, they also generate a cute "elf cam" video of Santa in front of your background. It would be so much fun to tell a questioning kiddo that you were going to set up surveillance video to catch Santa in the act! Then show the video Christmas morning. I think I'd even have a package wrapped just like the one Santa holds in the video. I can just picture the amazed faces!
I had so much fun playing on this site. I couldn't resist just one more picture. Kinda looks like Santa might be looking for a new place in Edmond too! Merry Christmas!
Talk to you soon!
