1. Santa Letters

   Sending a Santa letter to your child is one of the easiest ways to keep them believing in Santa Claus. You can either get elaborate letter packages including Nice List certificates, reindeer food, magic snow and other goodies from sites such as PackageFromSanta.com or you can save money and print your own letters from Santa using sites such as http://printablesantaletters.com or www.freesantaletters.net.

2. Personalized Santa Video

   Portable North Pole is one of the most innovative Christmas sites online and it lets you personalize a video message from Santa Claus for FREE. Santa actually says your child's name, locates his or her home state on a map and lets your child know if they've made it onto his nice list. If this convincing video doesn't keep your kids believing in Santa Claus, then it's possible nothing will. They also have a variety of related products kids will love.

3. Santa Photos in Your House

   Part of Santa's magic is the fact that so few kids have ever been able to catch him at Christmas Eve. Parents, however, can capture proof of Santa's visit with the help of Capture The Magic. This site makes it easy to catch Santa in your house. All you need to do is upload a photo of the room in your home where you caught Santa, and they'll do the rest. The results are amazing!

4. Santa's Nice List Ornament

   If your child made it to Santa's Nice List, one way to let them know is to get a special personalized ornament that declares the accomplishment. These can be customized at Zazzle in minutes with your child's name and the year.

   Santa loves to leave these special ornaments in stockings on Christmas morning!

5. Santa Evidence

   With so many homes to visit on Christmas Eve, isn't it amazing that Santa doesn't ever drop his gloves or forget his hat? Well, it turns out that Santa Claus can be forgetful, too. Sometimes he accidentally leaves behind evidence of his visit in your house. Search Amazon.com for "Santa evidence" and you can get a few items to leave out to prove Santa was really there.
