Tuesday, December 16, 2008 Family, Fun Finds

This holiday, Tokbox is offering Video mails to Santa and video greeting cards! The service is free and they are also donating to charity for every card sent—for every holiday video greeting sent between 10th and 25th December, TokBox will donate 5 cents to Child Foundation. They do amazing work supporting children around the world, ensuring they get a great education and a great start in life.
Instead of waiting in lines at the mall to see Santa or waiting for Santa to return an old-fashioned letter, this holiday kids can record and send Santa a video mail on TokBox.com. All you need is a web cam, an internet connection, your kid and their Christmas list. You can even forward their video mail on to family and friends who are still looking for inspiration on what to buy them. In return, your kids will receive a personalized video mail back from Santa in time for Christmas which can be played over and over by the anxious little ones.  Send your video message to Santa in time to get on his list!

And if you need any more reasons to send a holiday video greeting, here are a few:

• It’s easy to do on your own, or gathering the family around the computer to quickly record a holiday greeting (all you need is a web cam and internet connection)
• It’s free.  No postage or cards purchases needed.
• It’s fun!  You can either choose to send a standard greeting with holiday border,  or position your face inside a Santa … either way, your TokBox message is sure to leave an impression.
