Cool Santa Website Donates to Aussie Kids Hospitals
Fresh from the North Pole comes “PNP” or Portable North Pole. The website that brings Santa Claus right into kids’ (and grown-ups’) worlds through the magic of technology.
The website allows personalised videos to be created so that Santa Claus addresses the receiver by name, and names the good (or bad) deeds they have done throughout the year. Then, a madly pedalling elf starts a frenzy of excitement in Sanata’s Village, as he powers the “Verdict Machine ” which finally concludes if you are on the dreaded Naughty or most desirable Nice list, this year.
Yes, it’s all a lot of holiday fun – ho ho ho – but the best news is that every year PNP release a free video so that nobody will go without the wonderment of Santa. This year’s free video is set to come out any November day, now. For those who wish to upgrade the thrills to a premium video that gives more personalisation options, there are all kinds of fabulous packages and bundles to help you get giving, and 5% of all web sales will go to a participating children’s hospital near you.
PNP has partnered with Mater Little Miracles in Brisbane and the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne, this year, so Australian users of the website will be helping put smiles on more than one child’s face. Money that is raised during the holiday period will go to these worthy causes.

Australia’s version of Christmas!
As an Aussie I have been raised with this wonderful ability to completely ignore how ridiculous it is to be singing ‘Dashing through the snow…’ or ‘A partridge in a pear tree…’ when, in fact the only snow glimpsed during the silly season is on the back of toilet seats at office Chrissy parties and the poor old bird has been replaced with prawns and a mango. There are no cosy fires down under and this Christmas looks to be the usual humid, thunderous event it normally is.
Australia has an odd and often delusional relationship with the festival of Christmas. We spray our windows with foamy fake snow (and wonder why we got the ozone layer hole.) Many diehard fans still labour over a turkey or ham while the family swelters around the candle lit table, sweat mushing up the frayed edges of our paper crowns. We have inherited a decidedly European culture and though, over the years, many noble attempts have been made to Australian-ise the festivities (‘Six White Boomers’ anyone?) we haven’t quite got our head around the bizarre incongruity of yuletide celebrations on a stinking hot, semi-arid tropical island.
