All Things Christmas

Back in early November I had posted some good sources for free letters from Santa. I had also included the website Northpole.com which is the perfect Christmas Eve site. It has stories, ElfChat, e-cards, educational worksheets, recipes, crafts,and the ever popular NORAD (so kids can track Santa). A friend of mine also told me to check out the Portable North Pole. At this site, you can have a personalized message from Santa delivered to your kids. It is pretty neat. Imagine your child's face when they get a personalized video message from Santa (you can even download their picture).

Thankful Thursday

I've been doing a lot of thinking about where I'm going with my blog and I've decided that I'll only post freebies or bargains about once or twice a week. This had been consuming a lot of my online blogging time and since there are already some really good sites out there to check for deals, I'm not going to continue focusing so much energy on this. Instead, I am going to focus on everyday life and writing posts about topics that help us as women (especially us as mommies) simplify our lives. At the bottom of this post I will include my favorite freebie/bargain sites. Enjoy browsing!

Don't wait until the last minute to order! Also I used the coupon code newbaby (for my daughter's baby announcement photo cards) and they were also free. I don't know when the newbaby code expires so I would use it ASAP.

Free Letters From Santa For Your Little Ones

I visited my mom today and we took my daughters to her work. At the service desk there was a pad with papers for people to take to send in for their child to receive a personalized letter from Santa. They cost about $4. Online there are some good resources for getting a free letter for your child.

There is a wonderful site called Free Letters From Santa Claus where you can personalize a letter from Santa for your child. There are about 5 different letters to choose from and 5 different designs. You can download the letter or send it via email. There is also Best Santa's Letter.

Also, there is a site where you can copy text for a letter from Santa that you can personalize yourself in Word. They also give instructions for how to get a North Pole postmark.

Free letter From Santa and AAA are other sites that offer free letters from Santa.

When constructing your letters, after you input the information, double check the grammar and make changes if possible (or choose a different template without errors). My favorite site was AAA's. It was simple to input the information and free of grammatical errors. Also, it was worded simply so I think my two year old has a better chance of understanding it.

If you would like someone else to send your child an actual letter through the mail, check out Letters From Santa. All you do is plug in the information that they are asking for and they will send your child a letter from Santa. A sample template is provided so you can see what the letter will look like.

If you don't mind not having a personalized letter from Santa, Christmas Letter Tips.com and Santa Printables are other sites that have printable letters.

To send a letter to Santa, play online games (many are educational), check out Santa's Naughty or Nice List, hear stories, see Norad's Santa Tracker, and see many other features, check out Northpole.com.
