I hate saying, “Santa’s watching you” because I hate to make the holidays a threat but… sometimes those words have slipped out. Especially, recently when we were having a particularly frustrating day and Jackson just wouldn’t behave and I thought it might motivate him to. But… instead he replied, “no he’s not, how could he watch? How would YOU know?”
Frustrated and annoyed I just muttered, I do. But now I have a way to prove to him that Santa is watching, while having fun and counting down to the holiday at the same time (a total win, right?). With Texts from Santa your child will receive a personalized text message from Santa every day in December leading up to Christmas Day.
When you sign up for Texts from Santa you fill in a minimum amount of personal information’ think your pet’s name, town you live in and child’s first name. Then each day your child will receive a fun personalized text message from Santa.
The messages will serve as a fun way to countdown to Christmas and also keep your child up to date on all of Santa’s preparations at the North Pole. The messages will engage your child in some holiday fun and also let them know what Santa’s reindeer and elves have been up to that day. These messages are meant to be enjoyable for kids of all ages and for their parents too.
What I like about Texts From Santa
- Easy, I don’t have to do anything other than sign up.
- Text messages are quick and fun.
- No remembering to do anything the night before.
- Personalized
- Daily countdown
- Daily activity
- Adds a bit of magic to the holiday season.
As a final message to your child Santa will snap a selfie of himself with your tree for a special text that will arrive on Christmas Day. This photo can then be saved to your camera roll for your child to remember for years to come.
In the past few years many Christmas traditions have come about. Most of them require work, planning and creativity. Texts from Santa requires nothing more than a cell phone to have a bit of holiday fun every day. I like that I can easily add this tradition in and Jack and I can wait with excitement each day to see what Santa says. And now when he says, “Santa’s not watching him” I can tell him that I have his number on speed dial.
Texts from Santa is $9.95 for 25 days of fun personalized messages from Santa. Regular text message rates.

That’s pretty cool. Was thinking about the elf, but that is a lot of work….

We tried an Elf last year and it was so hit and miss. When I would do something fun with it Jack would question how it happened and why. When I did nothing or worse forgot to move it he was either bored or confused by it. I like that this doesn’t require me to do anything.

That is what I am liking about it too…
