Also http://portablenorthpole.tv/home (not started yet) make the cutest video messages from Santa for free, which you personalise with events from the year gone by and can add photo's to.

My children were blown away by these last year. You can also make adult versions with messages such give up smoking, or I've heard you've had a bad year hope next one's better.

OMG thanks for this link I was totally in awe at how amazing these were last year, this year I am more prepared to add as much detail as possible. the kids still watch them now (so do I) even I cant figure out how santa did it! Totally magic.

Thanks for posting info of this, never knew about it and I think it's a great charity to support. Can't wait to see my little boys face when the letter comes

It's amazing how he actually say's the child's name and talks about their friends and what they have done through the year.

..... was a bit crafty last year as the kids hadn't been keeping their rooms tidy, so made one with Santa saying he was a bit disappointed and they must try harder (rooms were then spotless) so made another a few weeks later with how pleased he was with them for being good.

I'll happily donate more than 1p!

Just wondering why my posting was deleted? This isn't really a deal, but an invitation to support a charity (the NSPCC) that wants to jail parents who use reasonable smacking and take away their children. That's not an organization I would ever want to support and I should be able to comment on the quality of the charity, whether or not, the moderator who deleted my posting, agrees or not!

Hmmm reasonable smacking what exactly is that??? I could just see it now you get beaten by a person in the street, the police officer says oh I'm sorry I know you were assaulted but well we wont be punishing them as they didn't leave a mark/ they felt that you deserved it because they didn't like what you were doing at the time etc etc.

On the same note do you also think its OK if an elderly person being cared for in a care home is smacked? The reason they give for doing it... we are their main carer its how we show them discipline?

That's exactly all that this charity does

You mean apart from providing a helpline where people can report child abuse and help children get out of desparate circumstances. A concerned person in our area did just that and the "parents" have just been jailed for 5 years for appalling child cruelty.

My Sister brought her to son's one each a couple of week's ago and paid £12 for them both, it wasnt until i see this today that it reminded me to do my Son's, i think the website shouldnt allow 1p,2p or even under £2 to be paid as the cost of paper, the colour printing, the envelope and postage would be around that so the charity wouldnt really benefit.! I donated £2.50 and then another 63p was paid through gift-aid x

My post has been deleted as well no reason why it should have been just advising people that royal mail offer the same service if they are on a tight budget!
