Santa sites for kids this Christmas
5 December 2004
This Christmas has spawned a number of new online services for children.
SantaSpeaking.com promotes personalised Santa Claus experiences, such as personalised phone calls from Santa with the conversation recorded on CD, Santa's Arrival Messages and a Santa Cam to help kids track Santa on Christmas Eve.
"Children today are very smart. Taking them to sit on a man's lap that is dressed in a Santa suit isn't always the magical experience you hope for," said Anne Gaskell, owner of SantaSpeaking.com and mother of two.
"For kids under four, it can be very frightening sitting on a stranger's lap, and for those in school, it can be less than believable when they expect Santa to know details like their middle name."
SantaTracker.com is one of the original Christmas sites for kids on the internet.
Scott Williams, president of Emisare and founder of SantaTraker.com, said: "Kids today need a fresh new Santa, and now we're capable of providing them with a much more believable experience. The typical mall Santa isn't consistent with Santa legend; it's impossible for the mall Santas to know naughty and nice details. The Santa phone call is simply a better experience all around without all of the stress involved in waiting in line at a busy mall."
In December 2003 the term "Santa Claus" was the 9th most popular search online, according to About.com and Google Zeitgeist.
