Once again, for the fourth straight year our friends at Bell Media's Sympatico are proud to bring to life, "Magic Santa." The Magic Santa program allows parents and siblings of little ones the opportunity to create an amazingly authentic, free, personalized video message from Santa Claus himself. Families can customize the new and updated video to include a toy the child wants, photo and hometown. New for this year, Santa also mentions something the child has achieved in the past year and will end with a challenge for the upcoming year. Your little ones will be thrilled with the ending to the video, as Santa will hang an ornament with the child's photo on his tree at the North Pole. How exciting for all those children who want to give an actual message to the big guy himself.

If you are interested in participating in this wonderful opportunity, then listen carefully, because it will only take a few minutes to register the information. Firstly, you must get all the appropriate information from your child. Start by quizzing your little ones and determining what their Christmas present of choice will be. Add to the past and future accomplishments or any other pertinent information to personalize this lasting memory.

Your child is surely going to believe in Santa for years to come. We participated last year with our 4 little ones and I must say it was worth the looks on their faces. Just imagine them telling their friends that Santa actually knows them by name and something personal about them too. A favourite sport or pet would add greatly to the experience.

Once they receive the video, it can be shared on several other digital links, such as Facebook, Twitter or email. They also offer an adult version for a little whimsy around the holidays.

Go to www.magicsanta.ca and simply follow the instructions to get started.

From the WonderMoms.ca family to yours, may this Holiday Season be everything you hoped. Take care and enjoy spending time with the little ones. We appreciate your continued support and hope to talk again in the New Year.
