You can send someone a free personalized video message from Santa that includes photos of the recipient.

The Portable North Pole console offers the videos, which you can make online in minutes.

Go to www.portablenorthpole.com/home.

You can make a video for a child or adult, naughty or nice. You can add their name, which Santa will speak several times, along with a gift they want, a personality trait they express like stubbornness, and something they do, such as spend too much time on the Internet.

The video, including singing elves and a reindeer, can be sent to you or your recipient by e-mail.
