Here are some fantastic websites, recommended by loads of families for the countdown to Christmas …
This is my top favourite …
Capture the reindeer eating carrots in your house on Christmas Eve!
You can read all about it here: but if you go to ReindeerReady.co.uk on your phone, then …
• Follow the instructions to take a photo of your garden or living room (or wherever you leave the carrots)
• Remember to leave some carrots out for the reindeer before your little ones go to bed!
and voila – you have a video!
Track where Father Christmas is at all times on Christmas Eve
Using the NORAD Santa Tracker , which is a family friendly program by the North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD) which uses military sensors and technology to track Santa as he moves around the world on Christmas Eve
Personalised Video Message From Santa
On the Portable North Pole, you can generate a personalised video message from Santa for your children – just answer a few questions and hey presto. Mesmerising, even to us grown-ups.
Prove Father Christmas was in your house!
You can visit Capture The Magic, upload a photo of where you would like evidence of Father Christmas in your house, choose one of their ‘Santas’ and they will zap! the two together and you have a printable photo of the evidence.
Watch Santa’s Sleigh Fly Overhead on Christmas Eve
Use one of the International Space Station Tracker apps listed to find out exactly what time the ISS is passing over your house on Christmas Eve. When the time is right, drop everything, rush outside and ‘ooh’ and ‘aah’ over Father Christmas passing overhead in his sleigh!
