“Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas!“  To many children Santa is the mascot for the entire month of December and is the topic of many conversations.  Parents of children tend to think about mall Santas, the long lines, and the uncertainty of how their children will act when sat on the jolly old guy’s lap for a quick photo.  You know that photo……the one where the baby looks at Santa and screams or the toddler pulls Santa’s beard.  While classic, that is just not the ideal visit.  I am sure my husband would rather have a root canal than go to the mall during the month of December.  Wouldn’t it be nice to take the stress out of visiting Santa?

Now Santa can come to you!

SantaSpeaking.com offers live, personalized, truly believable, Santa experiences that turn even skeptics into believers! Their Santa is happy and kind, knows your child’s name, and whether they’ve been naughty or nice. You simply choose the date, time, and provide all the details, which they deliver to Santa.  You will watch the magic unfold as Santa calls during your scheduled time.

I recently talked with Elf Bob and I fell in love with Santa Speaking.  This company turns Christmas in to a magical event that can be replayed year after year with the Mini CD Ornament the company mails after your telephone call with Santa.  You absolutely need to listen to the “Hear a Sample” phone conversation between Santa and Natalie.  While the children in this sound recording are not my own I actually teared up when the girls sang with Santa and when she told Santa that she loved him.  Having your child’s voice recorded year after year in an audio recording that you can listen to forever is absolutely priceless and beats a photo of a mall Santa hands down!

Santa Speaking offers several different options including a Single call (lasting 3-5 minutes and is recommend for one child), the extended call (lasting 8-10 minutes and is recommended for up to three children), CD recordings on a mini CD that can be played in any tray type of CD player and can also be used as an ornament, MP3 recordings which are emailed to you within 48 hours of the call, Christmas Eve messages, and Letters from Santa.

The Christmas Eve messages seem absolutely perfect.  Beginning with the 4pm hour, you’ll hear from Mrs. Claus as she prepares Santa for his big journey. Then, continuing with three more hourly updates, you’ll listen in on the Elves at the workshop while they finish up making the toys, hear from Santa himself as he prepares to leave on his sleigh packed with presents, and finally, Santa, once more as he gets close to your neighborhood and makes sure that all good boys and girls are tucked away in bed!  Can you feel the magic in the air?

Later in the month my girls will receive their very own Santa Speaking phone call.  I fully intend on capturing it on video and posting some of the audio for you to hear.  I foresee a personalized phone call from Santa as our new annual holiday tradition.
