Santa speaks directly to children in a personalized video, recognizing
deeds well done, and sharing the story about the true meaning of Christmas
- the story of the birth of Jesus Christ.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- This year Santa is leveraging the
latest in Internet technology to speak directly to children about the true
meaning of Christmas.
A St. Louis-based company -- ChristmasGram.com -- has created
personalized video messages from Santa that explain the real reason for
Christmas -- Christ.
The video emails, ordered by parents or other gift-givers, are
delivered directly into the child's home before Christmas via the web or
DVD. From the delightful setting of Santa's Toy Workshop and from his quiet
living room at the North Pole, Santa speaks to each child by name, and then
reminds the child of the true meaning of Christmas -- telling the story of
the birth of Jesus Christ in a simple, easy-to-understand narrative.
The reason for the project, according to Jan Godfrey, a project
volunteer, is that many Americans believe the true meaning of Christmas is
being hijacked by political correctness, commercialism and apathy.
"The future of Christmas lies in the hands of our children, and we feel
that next to family and friends, Santa is the ideal person to remind us why
we celebrate Christmas," she said.
"We believe that a spiritual Christmas can co-exist with the magic of
Santa and many secular holiday celebrations and that we as Christians
should not allow others to strip the holiday of its religious significance.
Who better than Santa to put Christ back into Christmas?"
