Season’s Greetings, and thanks for your visit.
A quick holiday thought for readers with little (or not so little) ones eagerly awaiting a visit from Santa Claus: a free service from Portable North Pole (PNP).
The site creates a video greeting from Santa Claus, a link to which can be Emailed to any of a number of recipients. While visiting the site, viewers upload a couple of photos of the child and some landmark events of the past year, some information about gender and behavior that Santa would be watching, and whether the child has been naughty or nice. Including information about specific gifts a child can expect is optional.
Another entertaining option involves sending the greeting to an adult.
So why does PNP produce these videos for free? It appears that their revenue stream emerges after the video is produced; the Emailed link to the videos only last until shortly after Christmas, but users who want a permanent record of their videos can download the file for $6.99.
