He not only knows if you've been bad or good...

he knows how to text! In an effort to increase operational efficiency at the North Pole and spread holiday cheer, Santa Claus has added SMS text messaging to help keep children all over the globe informed of his Christmas progress.

When a parent, grandparent, or other family member registers a child with Textsanta.net, the child will receive three separate, personalized text messages from Santa up to Christmas Eve and even Christmas morning. If the child does not have his/her own cell phone, the messages can be sent to a parent’s phone. The gift costs $4.49 and standard text messaging rates apply. One dollar from every transaction will benefit the March of Dimes.

The child’s data will be protected by data encryption, used only for the one-way contact from Santa as purchased and approved by the adult. Information will then be destroyed immediately by elves in Santa’s shredding department -- no child's personal information will remain on the site.

Santa got the idea for messages to benefit the March of Dimes from T.J. Kirgin, owner of Anchor Communications (An Advertising and Marketing Company) of St. Charles, Missouri, a volunteer for the Missouri chapter of the March of Dimes and the father of twins born prematurely. Help the March of Dimes and make a child smile at Textsanta.net
