There are now over 704 participating retailers. I sent out a list earlier this week with my favorites, but I've been updating it and adding any extra details. So, skip over and check it out!

Holiday Freebies: Cool Video Message &/or Letter from Santa + Holiday Crafts

It's not too late to get a letter from Santa for your children. You have until December 21st to write to Santa Claus himself and get a personal reply back!

To receive a written letter from Santa Claus, a letter with a legible return address must be mailed to:

Santa Claus
PO Box 1

(Thanks Free Sample Freak!)

And, get a personal video message from Santa HERE. This is very neat, because you can customize it with your child's name, what he/she requested for Christmas, and a photo of your child, which Santa Claus will be holding when he checks the naughty/nice list. Plus, Santa shares one if his many secrets.

Finally, you can download a book filled with holiday craft ideas.
