As I write this post I am sitting in awe after having just watched a heartwarming video of Santa, delivering a personalized message to my son. \u00a0I\u00a0literally\u00a0had tears in my eyes. \u00a0Now I’ve heard of receiving a phone call from Santa, and seen Santa in every mall posing for pictures, but I’ve never seen a video you can buy online with Santa talking directly to your child which includes pictures of your child.<\/p>\n

The website where you can get your own personalized video is called PortableNorthPole.com<\/a> and they all sorts of personalized items…videos, puzzles, songs, Santa calls,\u00a0place mats, stickers, you name it. \u00a0Best yet, they offer a\u00a0free a personalized video for your child(ren) which is incredible and not to be missed. \u00a0However, if you want to enhance it further, Portable North Pole offers more video options:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I tried both the free version and the Premium + version and for $3.99, I can tell you, it’s money well spent. \u00a0The extra pictures you add really make the video special and more endearing. \u00a0It should be noted that the video can only be accessed online or through their PNP app (iOS<\/a>\u00a0-$2.99, Android<\/a>\u00a0 – $3.01), but is not downloadable. To obtain a downloadable copy, you need to purchase the Premium ++ version with a High Quality downloadable keepsake. \u00a0The price for this is now $6.99, which is 50% off right now.<\/p>\n

Let me show you how you can personalize a video.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

First you fill out starter questions like whether your child is a boy or girl, their name, birth date, and how to pronounce their name. \u00a0When you play the sound next to the name, you will actually hear Santa saying the name.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Next, you tell Santa a little more about your child, if they go to school or stay home, what their best quality is, what criteria you’d like Santa to measure your child on (as to whether they’ve been good or bad), and what toy they are really wanting this Christmas. \u00a0He won’t name it\u00a0specifically, so don’t worry if the toy your child wants is not on the list.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then it’s time to really personalize the video. \u00a0In this free version, I uploaded 3 photos. \u00a0In the premium + versions, you also add a picture of your home and a picture of your child’s favorite animal or pet. \u00a0In the premium + videos I did for each of my children, I added their favorite stuffed animal and their\u00a0presence\u00a0in the video was so touching.<\/p>\n

The Video<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Since I couldn’t download the video, I’m not able to show you the video, played straight from this article. \u00a0However, you can watch the free personalized version I made for George, a toddler here<\/a>. \u00a0The video starts with Santa walking through a Winter Wonderland, carved in ice by Santa’s elves.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Then Santa looks in his library for your child’s personalized book, in this case, George.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Santa opens the book and sees two of the personalized pictures I uploaded onto the Portable North Pole website, along with the captions I wrote. \u00a0He then checks to see what the elves say as to whether your child has been good or bad. \u00a0In this case, George was both naughty and nice, yet the elves deemed him on the Nice list, yet labeled “under watch”. \u00a0The video is so cute and very well thought out.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then Santa takes your child into his secret workshop where the elves are busy at work preparing for Christmas. \u00a0Santa stops at a special present and says it’s your child’s, hinting at what it may be. \u00a0This part of the video is really magical and the little girl elf is so excited for the child to see his\/her gift. \u00a0The\u00a0scenes\u00a0continue, including Santa with his reindeer.<\/p>\n

A Mom’s Perspective<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Portable North Pole does a fantastic job with these personalized videos and they have way surpassed my expectations. \u00a0Their videos offer children a sneak peak of Santa’s living room, his wall of books where he and the elves keep records of every child, and a glimpse of the elf toy\u00a0factory\u00a0 \u00a0If you’re looking to add some magic and anticipation this Christmas for your child and a keepsake that your child will watch over and over again, head on over to the Portable North Pole. \u00a0Unfortunately, if you have more than one child, you will need to create a separate video for each one, but the beauty is that is\u00a0truly\u00a0does become customize for each child this way.<\/p>\n

You can also order a personalized phone call for Santa for $3.99. \u00a0The call typically lasts 2 minutes and is personalized with their name and age as well as the choice of one of 14 optional messages for Santa to say like\u00a0congratulations, encouragement, on the ”watch list”, night before Christmas, birthday, etc. \u00a0Want more calls? \u00a0You can buy a value pack of 3 calls for $6.99.<\/p>\n

So whether you head over to PortableNorthPole.com to order the free personalized video or the enhance premium video, go there, the technology is truly amazing. \u00a0And once you complete your video, it literally takes seconds for the video to be ready to play.<\/p>\n

It is our sincere hope here, at WellConnectedMom.com, that with all the\u00a0Christmas\u00a0rush that surrounds us, you find some calming moments to live in the moment and enjoy the spirit and peace that Christmas brings. \u00a0Merry Christmas to you and your family.<\/p>\n

* \u00a0I was given some codes to create two personalized premium + videos for my children as well as 2 calls from Santa. \u00a0All opinions stated and tears shed are my own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
