Proof Santa Came from Catch a Character!

Want to ah-maze your kids this Christmas?!!?  Check out iCaughtSanta and get ready to impress the kids with proof that Santa came to your house!  Take a look at what my kids saw last year...

I had it waiting for them when they woke up last Christmas.  To say that they were amazed was an understatement.  I added the lights with ribbet.com just for this post but the kids were floored!

They don't just do Santa but they also do Rudolph, The Easter Bunny, and The Tooth Fairy.  Check out who visited Goofy earlier this year...

Isn't that the coolest!  The tooth fairy blowing kisses after taking the tooth.  Don't you wish you could just capture their innocence?

In three simple steps, anyone can upload a holiday photo, add Santa Claus and print it as proof… or share it via Facebook and Twitter. Last-minute shoppers can purchase Gift Cards and eGift Certificates for loved ones with children, making iCaughtSanta.com a great gift idea even if you don't have kids yourself. 

Of course, the wonderful folks are giving five away right now!  Yep, five!  Enter via rafflecopter below and after you do that go to iCaughtSanta.com and enter to win a new iPad. Or enter and get extra entries now!

Does Santa Deliver Wrapped Gifts?

 Does the Santa at your house deliver the gifts already wrapped? 

I am not sure why this came up last year because it had never come up before, but the Husband did not want to wrap Christmas presents because they did not do it in his family growing up.

I thought he was nuts so, I asked the question on Facebook and the answers ranged from 'no, don't wrap because Santa just pull gifts from his bag' (or the more responsible one - it is not environmentally friendly) to 'yes, they should be wrapped and with different kind of paper from the ones we give the kids.' 

my favorite response

I wrapped the presents last year.


Apparently, he really wants to do this not wrapping thing this year and my response was, "we have to wrap some!"

I love watching their faces as they pull the paper away from the goodie hidden inside.  A lot of pleasure comes from anticipation and what better way to do that then by wrapping the gift.  Besides, I am struggling with the Holiday spirit this way and wrapping presents makes it feel like Christmas.

Then again, I also said I wanted a real tree this year and his response was, "well, since we are not wrapping gifts this year blah, blah, blah.... go ahead and get a real fire hazard tree!"

I did not get a tree and since I don't sleep, I wrapped all the gifts that did not require assembly first.  I compromised.  This is not hard since each kid only gets four gifts.  Three from Santa (cause, Jesus only got three, duh) and one from mom and dad.

As it worked out - all but one of our sons are now wrapped and two of the babies are wrapped, hidden until "Santa" brings them from his sack.

He is not pleased.

fyi: not our house

So, wrapped or not wrapped?  I put up a poll on Facebook here (I wish I could embed it but, eh) or feel free to comment.  Both ways will/may get you extra entries in the iCaughtSanta Giveaway. 

Review and Giveaway - iCaughtSanta Claus and so can you!

Here comes Santa, Here comes Santa...

Wouldn't you love to prove that Santa delivered gifts to your good boys and girls!

You can show the kids that Santa was in your home!

iCaughtSanta is part of the Catch a Character family and after doing this with the Easter Bunny, this past year (you can take a look here (extra entries if you leave a comment)), I can say I am a great big fan of this company! I am counting down the months til I can share the tooth fairy with him!

I would typically show the end result but - I want to take a photo of the Christmas tree with the kid's gifts and then put Santa in it, leaving it on the computer for them to see.  

It is that fast and easy!  You can do this all before the kids wake up Christmas morning!


I can have the image, download to my computer, emailed or printed, automatically. So easy! You can also share it instantly to more than 30 popular websites.

iCaughtSanta will also send you a video of Santa in your photo which you can choose to upgrade if you like what you see.

Capture, Create and Share!


I could go on and on about this product but - seeing is believing!

Hello from Santa!

This is by far the coolest site for getting a message from Santa.  Ever.  And... It is free!  Portable North Pole.

I did one for my little boy and the look on his face was absolutely priceless!  He got a special email from Santa with a link to the Portable North Pole "TV" and Santa greets him by name , says his name several times over the course of the video and I get to personalize it with photos and tidbits of info that only Santa would know because he is watching every move he makes.  Okay, that last part sounds super creepy but it is so cool none the less.

The only draw back I for see is when my baby girl is older...  her name is traditionally a boys name and is not on the list because it is not very popular (my sister called it ethnic aka very Irish) but eh... a popular baby mags predicts that it will be a top 10 boy name in 2012 hehehe.
