    http://www.santacam.org.uk/ Might also be worth a look. I tried it out and my nephew loved hearing Santa say his name:).

    Just a tip for when you input the details - when it asks for the childs name if you start typing a list of names will appear, you must click on the name from the pick list as if you don't and just type it in yourself Santa won't actually say the childs name in the video, I remember a few people had this problem last year. Its also a good idea to upload a close up picture of the child as then it is easier to see it in Santa book.
    My son loved his email video from Santa last year will definately be doing it again this year. Thanks for the reminder OP!

    I didn't realise you could upload a pic, where do you do that? I also noticed Santa only says a few names if they are on his list:).

    No one I knew had problems with it crashing so take that with a pinch of salt.

    Wow - never heard of this, and sure my dgs will love it. Doubt if Santa will have his name on his list though.

    You can add any name- I think the person above who said they only have a few names on the list must be on about a different site.
    The one I have posted in this thread is the one most people used last year and previous years- it says any name. My eldest has a very unusual name and he pronounced no problems!
