*****THIS GIVEAWAY IS TAKING PLACE AT LIVIN’ WITH ME BUT I WANTED TO GET WORD OUT HERE TOO- SO THIS IS JUST A COPY OF THAT POST. GO HERE TO ENTER THE GIVEAWAY.*****
Do your kids still believe in Santa Claus or are they getting to that age where they start to question how it all works and whether or not he is real? Hailey is only 2 so she believes in Santa Claus and the sparkle I see in her eyes every time she sees him or talks about him is just magical. I love seeing how excited she gets and I want her to believe in Santa for as long as possible.
I found a fantastic site yesterday that helps to keep your kids believing in Santa. So, I immediately contacted them to see if I could do a review and giveaway- because I want to share this with all of you. And I want one of you to be able to win this before Christmas. And they agreed! Woo Hoo!! So- what is the fantastic site?
It’s called Capture the Magic and it’s very, very simple. All you have to do is take a picture of the room your Christmas tree is in, the way it will look on Christmas Eve. Then you upload your picture to Capture the Magic and then you can pick from over 200 Santa Claus images (they have it set up to make is extremely easy, it will only take a few minutes). Once you pick your Santa Claus you place him in your picture. Now it will look like you caught Santa in your house and took a picture of him.
Read this short press release for more information:
“An enterprising team of Santa’s elves has launched a clever Web site for the Holiday Season that will bring smiles of joy and wonder to millions of children, and help parents make this coming Christmas morning unforgettable. With a simple, three-step process, www.CaptureTheMagic.com allows parents to upload a photo of their living room decorated for Christmas, drag and drop in a stunningly perfect image of Santa (over 200 poses to chose from) to share with children on Christmas morning.
‘Kids will go crazy with excitement when they see proof that Santa was in their home kneeling next to the Christmas tree,’ said James Hallihan, a real life elf who created the innovative site after recognizing the curiosity and fascination about Santa with his own children, Brooke, age 6 and her brother Chip, age 2. His first prototype of the new technology was created last year and his daughter loved it so much that he turned the idea into a company.
Over the past year, Hallihan and his fellow elves have conducted extensive research about the magical beliefs of children. ‘Three out of four children under age 7 still believe in Santa Claus, and one percent never stop believing’ he says. ‘We’re on a mission for Santa to make more believers,” he adds with a grin.”
And now, so you can see how it works- check out my before and after pictures.

After
See- I told you it was fantastic!! Plus, this was super easy to do. I am not a techie person at all- Rich always has to help me with anything technical. BUT, I was able to do this in minutes, all by myself. The thing that took me the longest was actually cleaning my living room to take the picture!
Now that you’ve seen how easy it works- I’m sure you want to be able to have a picture to show your child Christmas morning so you can say, “Yes, ……….., there is a Santa Claus!” So you’ll be happy to know that Capture the Magic has kindly agreed to let one you of you win your own.
