Christmas On the Internet

There is so much content on the Internet, there really is something for everyone! There are lots of great places you can visit with the kids on the Internet, this is especially true during the Christmas holiday season.

The most important thing to remember is the Internet can be a dangerous place for children so all websites should be checked in advance for appropriate content, kids should always be supervised while using the Internet.

There are many great sites that are dedicated to kids during the Christmas Holidays. What kid doesn't like getting a letter from Santa? Well how about a personalized video message from Santa himself! This is a great website called MagicSanta.ca, you go to the site and it will walk you through step by step creating a personalized video message for your little one.  It will include your child's name some favorite things about them and even a picture. Kids love this so be sure to give it a try!

This is a definite crowd pleaser, guarantee's to please everyone from your toddler to grandma, and even your teenagers. ElfYourself.com, lets you put up to 5 of your family members faces on elves bodies who then do a dance. It is so entertaining and fun to watch!

One of my favorite things to do over the holidays when I was a kid, and now with my own children is track Santa. I use to do it on the TV, but now my kids love tracking him online. With Norad Santa Tracker using Google earth, your whole family can gather around the computer and watch as Santa travels all around the world delivering his presents. It is fun for children of all ages.

These are just a few of the great sites on the Internet for children during the holidays. Feel free to comment with any of your favorite sites!
