Once again I have obtained a direct line to Santa’s workshop. It is December, so of course Santa is VERY busy. Unfortunately he does not have time to answer thousands of phone calls personally. But, you can leave a message for him so he’ll be sure to know what you want for Christmas. His Direct line is:

801-738-0668

 Let him know your name, how old you are, and what you would like him to bring you for Christmas. And, if you would like to have a recording of your message e-mailed to you, send an e-mail to Santa at santa@claus.fami.ly with the date and approximate time of your call as well as the child’s name and age and Santa will do his best to send your message back to you for your own enjoyment (Ask your parents for help with this part).

Pass this along to your friends and family so they can call Santa too.  http://stevemart.in/2009/12/10/call-santa/

Merry Christmas!

Ok, so I’ve found a few more of the 15″ Digital Picture Frames. There are a few different brands and I can’t say if they are any good or not. If I were in the market to be purchasing a new frame, I would still go with the Viewsonic I wrote about in a previous entry because I trust the name. But, these others may be equally good if not better, so who knows.

Pandigital PAN1502W02 15 Digital Picture Frame $149.97

Ok, so it’s sold out but maybe they’ll get more in stock. It was selling for $149.97. We had purchased a Pandigital as a gift once and the quality really was nice.

SmartParts SP15MWA 15 Walnut Wood Digital Photo F $119.99

I have a client with a SmartParts digital frame that his wife gave him for Christmas and it also looks very nice.

Smartparts 15 4:3 Ratio Digital Photo Frame $119.99

I tend to see a lot of the SmartParts frames available from many sites. Hopefully that means that they make a good product.

Sunpak SF-150-42001SL 15 TFT LCD Digital Frame – $81.97

I’ve never heard of these guys but the price is sure right. Hopefully the quality is at least decent.

I just double checked the prices before posting this. They could always change by the time you read this and they could sell out. Enjoy.

It’s equipped with a USB connection for easy content download and remote control.

This is my gift pick for this Christmas holiday. I bought another 15″ digital picture frame similar to this for my wife for Mother’s Day. She loves it. The reason I pick this one is that, as of this writing, it is selling for $139.99. Also, it is made by Viewsonic. I have always been happy with Viewsonic products in the past. And last but not least, it is large. A 15″ frame mounts nicely on the wall. We have so many digital pictures just hiding out on a hard drive that we don’t get to see very often. This allows us to be able to see the pictures and enjoy them. So, check it out and snag one before they are gone. I have already watched Amazon sell out of them and I’ve watched the price fluctuate up to $199, so get one ordered while you can still get it cheap and while it will still make it before Christmas.
