| This is an amazing service. This is our second year using this and both experiences have been out of this world. My girls are in awe when Santa knows everything about them. Thank you so much for offering this service! Christmas presents...$$$ Holiday Stress...$$$ Santa calling to say hello...Priceless! | | |
|
| This is the 3rd year I have given the gift of Santa Calling to my granddaughters. It is totally awesome. Well worth the money and experience. I recommend it to all grandparents! You won''t be sorry! | | |
|
| Thank you so much for the call Santa. The look on Ethan''s face as he talked to you was priceless. He was so happy and could not believe you had even read his book and mentioned a character from it. He waited all day for your call and went to sleep happy and smiling. Thank you so much! | | |
|
| THE LOOK ON ISABELLA''S FACE WHEN SHE FOUND OUT THAT SANTA WAS ON THE PHONE WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME WE''VE DONE THIS, AND I IMAGINE THAT IT WILL ONLY GET BETTER! SHE WAS A LITTLE SHY TO ANSWER, BUT SHE WAS DELIGHTED. | | |
|
| Noah''s mouth dropped to the floor! We were traveling in the car with Noah and his friend, MJ when Santa''s call came in on the cell phone so when Santa preceeded to ask questions that only "Santa" would know, Noah''s eyes lit up. He and MJ were in "hog heaven" the rest of the week. MJ couldn''t wait to get home and ask his mother if Santa was going to call him as well. This was the greatest gift you could ever give a child. Santa was very personable and, after listening to the tape, very believable. The whole conversation took me back to the time when I believed. Matter-of-fact, after this experience I still believe I do!! Thanks so much for making such a wonderful childhood memory that Noah will cherish for a lifetime. | | |

| Thank you just doesn''t seem like enough!! The smile and excitement on Jeffrey''s face when "Santa" called was priceless. Santa did a truly amazing job and was so believeable. After the call, he just kept jumping up and down and was in complete shock that "Santa" called. Thank you for allowing us to keep the magic of Christmas alive for our lil guy. These are memories that we will cherish and will last a lifetime. From our family to yours, Merry Christmas! | | |

The Blogger Who Saved Christmas
SciFi Dad had a contest where he was giving away a free phone call Santa. There’s this company called Santa Speaking and they take a bunch of info from you about your kids, and then have Santa call them and blow their minds.
I totally won that contest.
They asked me 8,529 questions per child, and not just the names and ages stuff, but questions like, “What do they need to work on?” and “What have they asked Santa for” and “What are their favorite colors?” I picked the date and time of the call; the 22nd, between 2 and 3. Of course, there was 15 billion feet of snow on the ground at 2pm on the 22nd, and of course the kids were all out sledding, so I called them home and told them that I was ‘worried about someone breaking a leg,’ and ‘could y’all just play close to the house for me so I don’t have to freak out?’ I can’t believe that worked, either.
The phone rang at 2:15 and I answered it. “Hello?”
“HO HO HO! Merrrrry Christmas!”
“Is this Santa?” “Of course it is! HO HO HO!” “Well, let me get the kids for you!”
I called them inside. I told them the phone was for them and they would never ever believe who was on the other end. 2of3 took the phone first. I only heard his end of the call, which started out with a nervous giggle and something of a smirk, turned into a bunch of how did you know THAT’s and ended with the biggest smile I’ve ever seen on a kid’s face. 1of3 asked me halfway through 2of3’s chat, “Is he talking to Uncle Gnilleps?”
“No, man, it’s even better. Just wait.”
1of3 took the phone and said hello. And then he rolled his eyes. And then he listened. He uh-huhed a lot in the beginning, and as their talk went on, his eyes got wider and wider and he smiled bigger and bigger. All the while, 20f3 was jumping around the house screaming, “Mom, it was really Santa! He knew EVERYTHING! He knew we’re from Denver, he knew I have to focus more at school, he knew about our letter ornament on the tree! It was REALLY Santa!” 1of3 said goodbye, handed the phone to me, and after we all sang Santa a Christmas song and had hung up, I noticed his hands were shaking. I looked at his face, and their were tears streaming down his cheeks.
I asked what was wrong and he just asked, “Mom, did you tell him to call? You have to tell me the truth.” I said no, that I knew Santa’s number but had no idea he knew ours. He stifled back his tears and in an almost-whisper said, “Mom, it was really Santa.”
I know, baby; I know it was.
And that was when I realized that my son, my little baby, didn’t believe in Santa anymore, or was at least totally on the fence about the whole thing, right up until that phone call. And now he has no doubts. Now, he has empirical proof. Now, he’s got that magic back, maybe only for another year or so, but it’s there.
And that, my friends, is what it’s all about.
It’s about seeing my kids believe in something beyond them. It’s about showing them how to have faith in something they can’t touch, that they’ll never really be absolutely certain of, but that they want to believe in. It’s about keeping a glimmer of misty-eyed wonder in their eyes, and I would happily cough up the $60 the call would have cost me anytime to make sure they have that as long as they can.

| Our 6 year old was thrilled!!!!!! I just happened upon your site by accident. I''m soooo glad I did. We will use santaspeaking.com until the sad day when our kids no longer believe. | | |
|
| My daughter has Autism. She was able to stay on the phone with NO help for the whole time. That is rare and so special for her self esteem. | | |
|
| Noah''s mouth dropped to the floor! We were traveling in the car with Noah and his friend, MJ when Santa''s call came in on the cell phone so when Santa preceeded to ask questions that only "Santa" would know, Noah''s eyes lit up.

|
| My son''s eyes were just LIT UP.... I almost cried, he was so happy :) | | |
|
| Abbie was especially excited. She''d been saying all week how "Santa hasn''t called me this year :-(". She was amazed that Santa knew the name of her basketball team - and thought it was funny that Santa and Mrs. Claus liked to watch the elves play basketball. That bit of personalization that you get with the SantaSpeaking calls is priceless! | | |
|
| . Samantha''s socks were blown right off her feet. The only thing she kept saying was that Santa had called her at home. She even insisted on sleeping in her own bed since Santa asked her to do that. The "ho ho ho" really got her. She let Santa know that she was leaving cookies and milk for him and carrotts for the reindeer. This was far better than any mall experience. Thank you, Santa and the elves for a great phone call. | | |
|
| Many, many thanks to Santa for calling my daughter, Maddox! He was unflappably warm and engaging, despite her somewhat tongue-tied responses :-) I am sorry he could not see the look on her face and her friend, Owen''s face, as the call went on, because they were amazed and astonished by how much he knew about Maddox. Santa even caught Maddox slouching at the dinner table when he mentioned that she needed to sit up and be polite in order to stay on the nice list! It''s not easy getting a precoicious 8 year-old to suspend disbelief, but Santaspeaking has made our daughter''s Christmas very merry and mysterious! | | |
|
| Our 3 1/2 year old daughter was so thrilled to speak to Santa that she could barely talk (which is a miracle for her!). After we hung up the phone my daughter jumped up and down and up and down. I tell you, it was completely priceless to hear the excitement in her voice and see the gleam in her eyes as she told her Grandmas about the call. Since then she has been telling her classmates in preschool that her "friend Santa." I would just like to say Thank You Santa Speaking, you are angels!! | | |
|
| I have never seen my child so excited in her life. No one will ever convience her that Santa is not real!!! She couldn''t believe he knew so much about her. | | |
|
| Debra was shocked at how much Santa knew about her and our family. He sang with her and really took his time to talk to her. I know you have to be very busy but you would have never known it by listening to the phone call! | | |
|
| Christian had a classmate that was told by his mom that their is no Stanta and was kind enough to share that with him. The boy is a bully anyway, but he was beginning to ruin our whole family''s christmas! Santa TOTALLY convinced Christian otherwise and addressed the issue of non-believers. Your Santa was AWESOME! He saved our Christmas and left our son trembling with excitement! THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH! | | |
|
| My grandchildren called immediately following the call to tell me that Santa had called. They live very far away from me and this wasa wonderful way to be included in their holiday excitement. | | |
|
| My children were amazed that Santa knew so much detail about themselves. My 5 year old daughter made me smile when Santa mentioned the name of her teacher and knew that she was her "AM" teacher. With such wonder in her voice she stated "How did he know that????!" I think kids are conditioned to meeting Santa in the malls where he is very generic so the Santa call was such a wonderful contrast to help children believe that Santa truly is watching... ; - ) Also, I love the questions you prompt the parents with. They are very thorough to give Santa some nice background on how to identify with the child. | | |
|
| The joy it brings when your child looks at you wide eyed mouthing how did he know all that, I must be really special that he called me. YOu all do an amazing job I have used you for years and will continue and pass you along to my sisters who are having children as well. Thank you so so much :) | | |
|
| My son thinks it the ABSOLUTE best thing ever to have Santa call the house. Santa knew everything about him and his friends which really made him feel that Santa was watching. | | |
|
| It was incredible. The girls were dancing around for the rest of the night, singing in the shower. My 10 year old was over the moon saying "I knew it, I just knew it".....My 6 year old woke up with the hugest smile on her face, just as she promised Santa ! | | |
|
| My kids were so thrilled that Santa called them and that he knew so many things about them. Santa sounded very authentic. Definitely will use again. | | |
|
| His voice was perfect. He asked them personalized questions to make it more believable and my husband and I really liked the part where he reminded them to be more cooperative about getting ready for school and bed. | | |
|
| Natasha was so excited to hear from Santa. This is the third year in a row Santa has called her and she just glows when she''s on the phone. After the call, Natasha immediately called both her grandmothers to tell them the good news that Santa said she made the "nice" list! | | |
|
| It was wonderful. My husband was a bit of a sceptic about how good the santa would be, but after the call, he said he hoped he would get a call too! We put the call on speaker phone and just had a great time with the call. | | |
|
| This is the 2nd year we''ve had Santa call the kids....they were so excited, they could hardly go to bed afterward, and both wanted to know if we could call him back, or if he''d call again! | | |
|
| This was truly priceless!! We will continue this and make it a tradition!! | | |
|
| My boys mouths dropped when they heard Santa talk.. it is a memory they will never forget! | | |
|
| We were very happy with it. We video taped the children during the call and by the end our cheeks hurt from smiling so much! Santa was Superb! | | |
|
| It was AMAZING! So nice to have Santa point out the "naughty" in such a "nice" way to our Daughter! She was jumping up and down! The personalized call knocked her socks off when he started mentioning family members and the things they''re up to and even mentioning things SHE''S been up to, she really KNOWS now that Santa watches everyone! | | |
|
| His voice is just as I have always imagined! | | |
|
| He was wonderful and engaging - and completely believable. He took his time and really interacted with my son. | | |
|
| Jesse was very excited and his face lit up brighter than the Christmas Tree! He was worried that just maybe he might be on the naughty list for not cleaning up his toys and fighting with his brother, but he is once again very eager for Christmas morning! | | |
|
| This is the 4th year I''ve ordered a call from Santa for my kids and every year my kids love it and so do I when I get the recording in the mail. The entire experience is wonderful and really sets the tone for the holidays. | | |
|
| I am so thrilled to watch the range of emotions in my daughters face as she llstens. The sight of her alone i will cherish for always. She did not reply to him with the exception of Santa convincing her to sing.... | | |
|
| A total blast! could not have asked for anything else, it was perfect and wil do it again | | |
|
| It was a delight to see my son''s face as he was talking to santa. He was so impressed as to how santa knew everything and the names of his friends. I will continue to use santaspeaking!!! Thanks | | |
|
| A total blast! could not have asked for anything else, it was perfect and wil do it again | | |
|
| I don''t do the calls every year for simply the reaction of my kids, but rather the preservation of their sweet voices at their current age. Then I hang the cd''s on our christmas tree and we listen to them every year. You help us preserve a little of their childhood, stated in their own words. | | |
|
| The best thing ever! This moment with Santa will live forever in the memories of my husband and I and will forever be with our son! It was terrific!!! | | |
|
| Each year I have my parents come up on the day that Santa will call. Last night we put Santa on speaker phone and the parents enjoyed it just as much as Austin. It''s one of my most favorite things about Christmas. Your Santa is SO nice and make the calls so personal. Austin was so thrilled that Santa called him. Thanks for making our Xmas that much more magical. | | |
|
| I''m amazed. My little girl received her call just as planned and Santa was FABULOUS! He knew absolutely everything that she''d been doing and had her eyes lighting up. To make things even better, the mp3 we ordered of the call showed up 24 hours later and we shared it with all of her grandparents and now she can listen to Santa whenever she likes. After listening to both sides of the phone call I am even more impressed. Santa even sang carols while he''s waiting for the phone to pick up! Anyway, I''d highly recommend the service and will be telling all of my friends who are parents about it. It really was joyous to see her face and we''ll be ordering it again next year. Best wishes. -Jana | | |
|
| My kids immediately called both sets of grandparents to tell them that SANTA CALLED THEM! The only regret was that they hadn''t been more prepared (who knows that Santa''s going to call??) and been ready to ask him a few questions. I heard more than a few, ''I should have asked him this...'' and ''I should have told him that.'' But, both kids sat at the piano right away and started practicing as they''d promised Santa they would, and they were kind to each other the rest of the evening. They were already making plans to tell their friends, whom Santa had mentioned by name, that they were on the nice list. They were both over-the-moon excited. | | |
|
| My 5 year old son during the call was quite stoic speaking with santa, but once the call was through, he was dancing around and cheering for almost 10 minutes. Talked about it all night. Also, Santa asked him if he could try to stop sucking his thumb. Hasn''t sucked his thumb since the call. Just to see my son''s face light up and how happy he was everything a parent could wish for. | | |
|
| It Was so wonderful! and "Santa Speeking" made that wonderment happen again for at least 1 more year. My Son sat there dumb founded! mouth open pointing to the phone mouhing Its him Mom its really him he knows EVERYTHING! after the call was complete and my son thanked sants for the visits in past years, and after he slowly hung up mouth still open, my son fell back on the couch as if to faint! he was absolutely beside himself! went straight to work finishing his homework as Santa told im too, took his bath without prompting fed the dogs and ASKED to go to bed! he said this morning that Santa sees EVERYTHING and he knows it now! | | |
|
| My grandson was blown away several times when Santa mentioned a clubhouse his Dad had built him. And when Santa named his little sister and brother. It was a very, very special time. The santa was so nice and believable. We will be back next year. | | |
|
| I have never seen my child so excited in her life. No one will ever convience her that Santa is not real!!! She couldn''t believe he knew so much about her. | | |
|
| We have one more year of innocence .. my son is without a doubt CONVINCED he spoke with Santa, and so am I! Thank You Santa Speaking so very very much for this glorious web site ...and my son is 10 years old! and I am proud he still believes As the song go''s "Toyland Toyland mystical Merry toyland, Once you cross it''s boarders, you may never return again"..Yes There is a Santa Clause Merry Christmas!!! We LOVE YOU SANTA | | |
|
| The kids loved it!! They are scared of the Santa in the stores so they were happy to just talk and not sit on his lap. | | |
|
| our daughter believes BIG time, and this call always drives the point home for her!! She was grinning all night! | | |
|
| When he was finished with the call his hands were sweaty and his eyes were so wide I didn''t think he would blink!! | | |
|
| He sounds so real and tells them exactly what they want to hear. this time of believing is so precious that we are so thankful to have known you for the past three years. we love you Santa and hopefully talk to you next year even when my oldest will be nine! you''re awesome~ | | |
|
| The kid hearts were beating out of there little chest! It''s just Awesome, this is our 2nd year Santa called us | | |
|
| it is absolutely believable and enjoyable!!! | | |
|
| Our best moment during the call was when our 5 yr old son did a "fist-pump" of confirmation of making the "good" list! I''m so glad we captured that moment of complete and utter happiness. We can''t wait to show him when he has kids of his own. | | |
|
| Everything about this call was phenominal. Santa was TOTALLY believeable. I haven''t seen my son that excited in a VERY LONG TIME. He was just BESIDE himself and it took him a while to calm down. He was AMAZED that Santa knew so much about him!! We witnessed the MAGIC of Christmas just by watching Zachary''s face while he was talking to Santa. It''s the absolute best gift we will give him every year, and worth EVERY penny!!! | | |
|
| It was awesome. My kids were so excited and spent the next 3 hours calling everyone they could get a hold of. Fantastic experience - so worth every penny to see them so happy. | | |
|
| Everytime my son sees Santa he becomes shy and can''t think of anything to say except that he wants a hockey stick for Christmas. This was completely different. He did quite a bit of talking and the look on his face was priceless when he realized it was Santa on the phone. I''ll never forget the smile on his face. | | |
|
| He took the time to speak equally to both of our children and included all the notes I left about each child. He also gave the children time to talk to him and they each loved singing a song to him. After the call, my husband and I overheard our children, ages 3 & 5, talk about how they were going to stay up all night on Christmas Eve and hide so that they could see Santa. | | |
|
| I''ve done this since my child was in Kindergarten and she is now in the 4th grade. She still BELIEVES because of these phone calls each year. THANKS for an AWESOME job!! | | |
|
| We have a 7 yr old that is "on the edge" of not believing and this call makes it thoroughly impossible for them to not believe. So many things that Santa talked to him about blew him away and acknowledging our Elf on the Shelf, Snowball, in the call makes them believe in Snowball. This is something that my husband and I look forward to every year...maybe more than the kids!!! | | |
|
| seeing a JOY on my daugther Torrance''s face means the world to me. she said this call from santa has made me more happier than i was today! she is in awe for how much santa knows about her! awesome call! | | |
|
| This was incredible! Santa was great. He incorporated all the details about the kids and they were in aw that he knew so much about them...he even got my youngest to sing him a song. Santa Rocks! Thanks so much for providing such a great service :o) | | |
|
| This is our 3rd (or 4th year) - he was great - loved how he went back and forth between the 2 and spent time with each of them talking about different things on their interest list. | | |
|
| My kids immediately called both sets of grandparents to tell them that SANTA CALLED THEM! The only regret was that they hadn''t been more prepared (who knows that Santa''s going to call??) and been ready to ask him a few questions. I heard more than a few, ''I should have asked him this...'' and ''I should have told him that.'' But, both kids sat at the piano right away and started practicing as they''d promised Santa they would, and they were kind to each other the rest of the evening. They were already making plans to tell their friends, whom Santa had mentioned by name, that they were on the nice list. They were both over-the-moon excited. | | |
|
| Santa told my son to give up the bottle at age 5 he was to old and he has not touched the bottle since FABULOUS! | | |
|
| My son was thrilled, he''s telling all our family and friends. He said it was the real santa. Santa''s call helped us all get into the Christmas mood. It was definetly worth it. | | |
|
| I love the emails that came to me after I ordered from Mrs. Claus and the Elves! I have been printing them & 7 yr old read them to his sister. They think I have a direct line to SANTA!! Beautiful!! This is WORTH its weight in GOLD!! | | |
|
| Thanks to santa speaking for keeping my 8 year old believing this year. Kids grow up way to fast! Getting a call from Santa, who knows all the little details of his life, made all the difference. | | |
|
| My 5 year old is usally shy but he came right to the phone when I told him He got a phone call. He asked if it was the phone call from santa I''d been telling him about. Santa listened with every bone in his body! Since that phone call, I havent had to coax my 5 year old, ben, To come stand with mickey mouse or buzz lightyear at our disneyland vacation. He''s just been amazing about it. And I owe it all to santa! | | |
|
| Santa was wonderful and patient and everything he should be!
My three year old gushed, my five year old hide, cried and blushed.
With Zachy, Santa spoke, with Jeremiah I did coax
Little by little, the boy did fiddle,
Finally, he came to the phone, and to Santa he was then known
What a wonderful treat, it could not be beat.
Oh the smiles, they went on for miles
An hour later, the feeling still can’t be greater
Will they sleep tonight? I think they might
They spoke with Santa and had great hope
I bought the CD for the memories, I’m no dope…

| Amazing!! We are so glad we came across this site! Our 5 year old son was floored to have gotten a call from Santa! Santa even knew his best friends name and all the wonderful things he has been doing lately! Thank you so much for increasing the magic of Christmas for our son! We are telling everyone we know about this site and we will be back next year for sure!!! Mona & Jeff | | |

| Just wanting to make sure that I had paid for the one ornament CD . She LOVED THE PHONE CALL!!!! This was our 3rd year and SHE WENT RUNNING TO SCHOOL the next day to tell her teacher!!! The whole class was amazed that she got a phone call from him. THANK YOU for making this such a SPECIAL time for her!! Terri | | |
|
| The call my child received from Santa last night was PRICELESS! What a great job you did to get all the details right. He was on the verge of not believing and now he so totally believes - it''s GREAT! Colleen | | |
|
| We just concluded our call with Santa a few moments ago and the children are still speechless! What a special memory for them and for us, this will definitely be a new Christmas tradition for us. What a wonderful job you all do, from start to finish. Just wanted to give you a huge thank you! Merry Christmas! Michelle | | |
|
| Thank you so much!1 Santa just called our house tonight (12/8/07) and he was a huge hit with our 8 & 6 year old boys. They loved that Santa knew about what they are doing in school & their teachers names. They especially loved telling Santa what they wanted for Christmas!! (Which had changed again from just last week!!) The best part was hearing the sleigh jingle bells and having Santa answer all of their questions regarding Rudolph, etc. Have a very Merry Christmas!! The House Family | | |
|
| Thank you so much Sarah, the call was amazing!!! Your team truly did a wonderful job! Thank you for making a 3 year old feel so special =:) We are very very pleased. I will be sure to forward your website to all my mommy friends later tonight! Thanks again from a happy little family in NJ! Staci | | |
|
| You all are so wonderful! Thank you for making this available to kids...it is a lovely way to keep Santa real for our children. Happiest of Holidays to all of the elves! Susan | | |
|
| My son just got his call tonight from Santa. I have NEVER seen him so excited or filled with joy! At first, he was a bit shy with Santa but when he realized it was for "real," he became animated! He was pacing the whole house on the phone and grinning from ear to ear. When he hung up, he was repeating everything Santa had said. (I put him on speaker so we could share his joy). He said this was the real Santa, no matter who said what. He called his grandmothers and repeated the entire conversation to them. Santa was very patient and knowledgeable about my son. I can not express how happy it made him and me in turn. Thank you for this gift of Santa! I am certainly returning next year. Oh and Santa reminded him of a few things to work on and my son immediately started since Santa was watching him! Berni | | |
|
| He was WONDERFUL!!!!!! Landon was in complete awe and amazed that Santa knew sooo much about him. Thank you for taking the time to provide such a truly amazing personally specialized one on one conversation with my son and Santa. I will definitely be a repeat customer year after year. Thanks for helping bring the magic of Christmas to life for my little one!!! I can''t express enough what a absolute thrill it was for me to watch his face glow with pure excitement. May God bless you! Karen | | |
|
| You made this Grammie believe again.. Thank You so much. My heart filled with wonderment when my GrandBoys both called to tell me Santa called them tonight. Oh! my lord the thrill in their little 4 and 5 year old voices. I miss being around them at this time of year, but the phone call made it bearable for me to get thru the next few weeks without them.. But even more marvelous was the CD copy of their talk with Santa.. First I smiled, then I giggled then I had tears of Joy.. 6 1/2 minutes of my GrandBoys with the thrill of ''Ho-Ho'' as they call Santa in they voice. The Happiness of one of them in the background talking all about ''it''s Santa on the phone'' really, to his Dad.. I could write a page, but just a simple Thank You.. Thank You so very much for coming up with this fabulous idea.. Very well worth the price for my heart and my GrandBoys memories for life.. Till Next Year - same time, same place.. Merry Christmas to You SANTA. Cheryll | | |
|
| My daughter is 20 and has down syndrome and thankfully we enjoy Christmas through her innocent eyes. I was afraid "Santa" wouldn''t understand her, because she doesn''t speak very clearly, but what a terrific conversation they had. He was so patient and kind, and her eyes lit up whenever he mentioned something personal to her. The joy this phone call brought to her brought tears to my eyes. All I can say is THANK YOU with all my heart for bringing such happiness to my daughter. We will be back next year. Nancyann | | |
|
| THANKS AGAIN for a WONDERFUL PHONE CALL from Santa!! We have been doing these for years, and my daughter, Maraye, ALWAYS looks forward to hearing from Santa!! Each year, she asks if I think he''ll call her again. You are always so prompt in calling us and in sending out our CD ornament. I have passed your info on to everyone I know that has a small child. THANKS for KEEPING OUR CHILDREN BELIEVING!!! Until next year-- THANKS, SANTA!! Terri | | |
|
| Thank Santa SOOOOOO much. He has made big-time believers out of two seven-year old girls who were questioning his existence. The whole family had a lot of fun. The value to our family is immeasurable. We can''t wait for our CD to arrive! Please let me know. I can''t thank Santa and the elves enough for giving us the gift of another year of childhood Christmas magic. Have an amazing holiday. You all deserve the best. Adrianna | | |
|
| I cannot even begin to tell you how AMAZING the phone call was last night. My kids were blown away with what Santa "knew" about them and how he answered their questions about the reindeer. My 6 yr old son Cole was out of his mind when Santa asked him how sledding was the day before!!!! My 3 yr old even sang him her Santa Song and was honestly AMAZED that he knew the words too!!! I will continue to use your services until my kids are adults!!!! I also purchased a call for my niece Holly Herzberg and she began to cry as soon as Santa hung up because she was soooooo happy that he told her she was on the top of the good girl list. That meant so much to her and also the fact that Santa knew that her dad and mom have birthdays in December!!! Santa wished them happy birthday and Holly just about fell off her chair!!!! Thanks again for having such a wonderful, magical service for kids. Lisa | | |

| We just received our call from Santa and wanted to thank you for such a wonderful experience. Our kids were so excited to be talking to Santa. It was so special to see their faces as Santa asked them about their interests and actually knew what they have been up to. As parents, I think we were just as excited as the boys. We love to create special memories and this one is tops on the list. We will recommend Santa Speaking to all of our friends. I only hope the boys stay young enough for one more year!!! Thanks again! David and Cyndie | | |
|
| Anne and Sarah! thank you, thank you , thank you!!!!! The kids are still buzzing about Santa!!! Hannah was really shy, but Santa was great considering 4 didn''t talk much!!!!! Thank you so much so checking on things, fixing things and for the great Santa!!! I am proud of you Anne for bringing such joy and twinkly eyes to the kids....and what a great Elf you are, Sarah!!! You made it happen too!!! jjfn, a happy grandma, sandie | | |
|
| THANKS SOOOOO MUCH! Santa called and not only made my daughter GLEAM all over, but my husband and I were like 2 little children ourselves!!!!! THANKS AGAIN SO MUCH. I appreciate your note:) We will never forget this year! Tammy | | |
|
| Thank you so much for your quick response. I wanted to also commend "Santa" for his patience with my daughter. I noted on my form that my little girl Hailey is Autistic and Santa was SOOOO patient with her and she stayed on the phone the whole time and listened and spoke to him. She normally gets upset on the phone and hangs up. That call was more of a Christmas gift than we could ever have hoped for- and we have it on CD!!!! I cannot wait to get it- thank you and I cannot wait to do this again next year- Dawn | | |
|
| My daughter is 10 and was on the verge of "not believing" ... until her phone call from Santa. She was absolutely blown away!!! He knew the names of her friends, that they don''t always get along (and he told her that he didn''t expect 10 year olds to, but to try hard); he knew she needed to work on her multiplication and that she really wanted to go New York City. She was speechless!!!! It was amazing for the whole family to see her reaction! Santa was incredible!!!!!! I cannot thank you enough for this magical moment in our holiday season!! Thanks Jill | | |
|
| Once again, I cannot thank you enough for making your brilliant idea available. You helped create some of our most precious holiday memories. Ones that I will carry in my heart throughout the year. Thank you. Happy New Year. SIncerely, Lisa Marie | | |
|
| I can''t think of a thing that could have been better! Santa was so authentic (deep voice, lots of ho, ho ho''s), so kind and patient -- keeping all the kids straight and even drawing out a reticent one in the bunch! He was perfect!!! | | |
|
| I don''t know how you could make it better. It was the best $21 I ever spent! My daugher LOVED it, and it was the first thing she told all of her friends about! I would do it again in a second - do you do the Easter Bunny? | | |
|
| No room for improvement, my son was almost speechless!! It was perfect! | | |
|
| I loved that Santa asked my son to sing the ABC''s. That was so cool. I was not expecting it and when I heard him sing it was great. That was very imprompt and made the call more believable. I would say do more of that! My son was very nervous during his call with Santa and said a lot of yes''s to all of Santa''s questions but what made it more believable is that he wanted to call his friends who were also noted as being on the "good list"! this was a great experience and I will use it again next year! I loved it and so did my son. All our family and friends were so impressed when we told them Vince received a call from Santa | | |
|
| I think it was wonderful. We are not sure if my daughter is a "believer" but she was convinced after the phone call. Who other but Santa would know about her award or her sports or the names of her cousins? | | |
|
| Dear Santa, My children loved the phone call from last year. My oldest daughter was starting to think you were fake and I wanted to continue the faith for the little ones. The phone call helped to make that become possible. All my children still believe in Santa Claus thanks to your help. I would recommend this to anyone that needs a little help in getting the kids to shape up for the holidays. It worked for me. I love the calls we sign up for. HOpe to hear from you soon again! Rhonda P. West Palm Beach, FL. | | |
|
| This was the best christmas surprise EVER. Jesse was so excited to hear Santa, he couldn''t believe Santa knew about his new baby sister or the trip to FL. Thanks so much Santa and the Elves...Merry Christmas!!!! | | |
|
| Thank you for your speedy response. This is one of the best companies I
have ever dealt with and I really do appreciate your great customer
service!! I really enjoy doing business with a company that I know I
will always receive wonderful customer service. Thanks again for the
refund and your time. It was really appreciated. | | |
|
| Last year (2007), I found your website and odered a call for my son. The expression on his face when I told him Santa was on the phone for him was one full of shock and excitement and completely priceless. Santa spoke with him about everything that I filled out on the personalization form and his eyes would widen with amazement that SAnta knew so mu ch about him. This was a gift for him, but I truly must say that I also received a most treasured gift as well.....the joy of sharing a wonderful timeless moment with my son that both of remember for years to come. Thank you. And yes, I have already scheduled my SAnta Speaking call this year as well! | | |
|
| Just wanted to let you know that the call was a big hit here. It is letting our daughter, who is 9 and not sure, believe for at least one more year. Thanks. | | |
|
| Wonderful!!!!!
This was one of the best things we have ever done!
Last night as he was falling asleep our son told us he now has his own magical Christmas story to tell his children one day!
Santa knew so many personal facts about our children they just listened with their mouths dropped open and their eyes as bright as we have ever seen.
The special effect (snowball throwing by Frosty, Rudolph in the kitchen) were just terrific.
We''ll be back next year! Thank you so much for adding magic to my children''s Christmas.
P.S- Please tell Santa thank-you. | | |
|
| Hi Ann, Thanks, Thanks!! Hunter loved Santa! He was jumping up and down and couldn''t stop talking about it all night. He actually was nice to his sister and drew her a picture and said that he loved her!!! Amazing the influence that Santa has. We''ll see how long it lasts now!
Looking forward to the calls on Christmas Eve...thanks again for those...Mary Lou

|
| Anne... THANK YOU and SANTA so much for the call last night. My daughter, Amya could not have been happier! Santa knew everything and she was so surprised! Thanks again, Keep up the good work and we will be back next year!!!! | | |
|
| DEAR ANNE GASKELL, THANK YOU FOR MAKING SURE THAT OUR GRANDDAUGHTER, CARLEE GRIFFITH, RECEIVED HER CALL FROM SANTA. SHE WAS OVER JOYED BY IT. WE WILL CERTAINLY RECOMMEND THAT HER FRIENDS CONTACT YOUR ORGANIZATION FOR THEIR CALLS. THANK YOU, NANCY | | |
|
| Monday, 12/12 my call from Santa to my Grandson, David Berube was a TOTAL SUCCESS. He was amazed. Santa went right through the list I had filled out. David had us laughing. He was so serious about the whole deal. Thank you so much for the experience of a little boys Christmas at 3-1/2. I have been telling others of your site. Thank you, mjb | | |
|
| Hello,
Per our discussion this afternoon, attached is Amya''s call from Santa! I am so happy that we found this website. The service that Anne and Santa provide is phenomenal. It makes Amya''s experience with Santa personalized and something we will be able to enjoy for years to come.
I can not wait until we have Santa call both Amya and Devin.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and your family.

|
| WE got our call from Santa!!! Thank you so much, you have made our daughters whole Christmas, Thank you for creating such magic for her! It was so worth it! We will hear from you again next Christmas! Have a wonderful Holiday and thanks again. Sincerely Cathy Clifton Alabama | | |
|
| I cannot tell you how happy or should I say ecstatic my son was to get the phone call from Santa. Great IDEA.
| | |
|
| Our Santa call was excellent. Seeing our son''s face during the call was like "Heaven on Earth". The call was perfect! Our Santa did a fabulous job! Santa suggested to our son that he do a better job brushing his teeth. He''s brushed them every morning and before bed without being prompted or begged by us! | | |
|
| Dear Anne Gaskell,
Thank you again. We received our CD today of Santa and my daughter Maggie and we loved it!!! Thanks for
helping us make her Christmas so special. | Patricia Hayes Stewart Manor, NY |

Speaking of imaginative,here is a wonderful website that also features "North Pole Gossiper","North Pole Weather"."Cookin With Claus" and "The Santa Shop Network." You might call it up for the kids, but wind up checking it out for your own enjoyment when they''re not around. At 12:01 PM on Christmas Eve,your kids (and you) can watch Santa''s departure from The North Pole on a "state of the art" Santa tracker.It''s nice to see a guy who has more to do on Christmas Eve than you do. "Follow him from the time the reindeer first leap into the air all the way until he''s in your neighborhood".
It''s the ultimate Christmas (non) reality show as elves have positioned cameras all over the world "to watch his every move." ...to make sure he doesn''t park on the tracks in Elmwood Park,no doubt. And,this is the only site we saw that featured Santa''s Blog. It had to happen. From nog to blog,Santa has gone high tech. You''ll need a Windows Media Player to enjoy all the benefits but it is worth the effort.

| Testimonial:My boys Joshua and Matthew recieved their call from Santa tonight. They were so excited, Mattews eyes were just dancing and his heart was racing as he just kept moving his happy feet. He wanted to make sure Santa new he wanted a new Hummer to ride in. When he was finished talking he laid down and said I and so happy I think I am going to throw-up! Joshua is 9 and it gave him the conformation to believe that he has been looking for all year. He thought it was great that Santa knew he loved Florida, but very concerned that Santa new he needed to be a little nicer to his big sisters. The fact that Stars Wars Battle Front 2 was one of Santas favorate video game was also a plus. After they said good-by and calmed down they had to call ther nannie and poppie in Okla. to tell them all about Santa calling them. My boys had a thrilling phone call for a few minutes that will leave memories that will last a like time. Thank You Brandi Tice
Thanks | | |

Santa Called Carson Last Night!
What a thrill! We had just finished dinner and were talking about getting ready for the bed, when the phone rang. I answered on speaker, Daddy grabbed the video camera, and we heard "HO HO HO." It was SANTA!!
Santa was WONDERFUL! He asked Carson lots of questions (he even asked how Nate and Sophia and Carson''s teachers were doing--he knew their names!) Then, he talked to Carson about playing soccer and football, because he knows Carson likes sports. Carson told him that he has to play them outside, and Santa said, "HO HO HO, yes you do! And not when there is snow on the ground!" Later, he asked Carson how his baby brother Wesley was and if he was awake or sleeping. They even talked about school, and Santa asked Carson to say his ABCs.
Eventually, Santa asked what Carson wanted for Christmas. Carson said, "ummmm..." So Santa responded, "Lets see, how about a fishing pole?" "Yeah! A fishing pole!" responded Carson. "And what about some Woody and Buzz toys?" Santa asked. Carson''s face lit up. Then, Carson said, "and I want green." (We had no clue what that meant, but he''s been saying it a lot.) Santa didn''t miss a beat, "HO HO HO, something green? Hmmmm... I''ll mention it to the elves."
Before he hung up, he reminded Carson that Mommy and Daddy would really like for him to be polite at the table when we''re eatting, and he asked if Carson can do that. Following, he said, "So, Carson, I guess you''ll be getting ready for bed now?" "No Santa," said Carson, "its not bedtime." (It was, but that''s okay). "HO HO HO," said Santa, "Carson, when its time for bed, you''re going to go to the potty right? Because I know a lot, and I know you are working really hard on learning to use the potty. And I think that''s great. So you''re going to go to the potty tonight, right?" Carson was so excited, "Oh yes! Santa!!"
Santaspeaking.com is AWESOME!! You schedule the call at a time that''s good for your family (hurry, because its booking up quickly). After you pay, you complete a detailed questionnaire to personalize it for your child(ren). You can also give the call as a gift to a family. Along with your call, they''ll send you either a CD copy or an MP-3 e-mail, so you can always replay this treasure in the future. Santa''s Speaking also offer letters from Santa and arrival calls.
And here''s a special Santa code offer for Mommies with Style fans: use code MOMMIES, for free Arrival Messages from Santa''s Sleigh with a $30 purchase. They are totally fun, pre-recorded messages on Christmas Eve where Santa calls, once per hour - for four hours to let the kids know how he''s doing on his journey. There is a sample recording on the site if you''d like to take a peek!
I''ll be talking about this call for years. It was SO special for all of us. Before bed, Daddy read "The Night Before Christmas" to Carson, and Carson kept talking about the call, and the fishing pole he''ll be getting! | Julie www.MommiesWithStyle.com |

Sam received a phone call about an hour ago from Santa. He loved it! He really enjoyed talking to Santa and can''t wait for him to visit on Christmas Eve. He said Santa had to go feed the reindeer.

| I wanted to write you and tell you how impressed I am with your site and personalized Santa experiences. I loved loved loved the Reindeer Cam. Ordered the calls for each of my kids today, I think this will be great - my littlest one is afraid of strangers, and I highly doubt I could get her to sit on Santas lap with the others for the picture. So this year we''re trying the calls from Santa and I ordered the CD - and two extra for the grandparents. Great job Santa Speaking! and thank you. | | |
|
| My kids won''t leave me alone, all they want to do is Dress and Elf and play Santa''s Sleigh game. - great job on the site, we''ll be back often. | | |
