PackageFromSanta #review #christmas #holidays

Isaak is on the fence when it comes to Santa. It's no surprise - Mica stopped believing when he was in 4th grade, as did I. Isaak's in 5th grade. He's told me that many of his friends don't believe. I just tell him, "That's too bad!" Then he says, "I know."

A Nice List Certificate, which overall he is nice:

Isaak did ask how Santa got his photo? I said I blog, and am on FB all the time. Santa must have gotten his photo from online. ;)

Hobo Santa

Isaak's been asking if I hide The Elf on the Shelf, and if I'm Santa. I haven't come clean about any of it. Saint Nicholas is in the encyclopedia, and we have an autobiography about how he came to be.

He is in 4th grade. I stopped believing about then. That's when Mica stopped believing. I took Mica aside and told him because I didn't want Mica to keep asking when Isaak was hearing his questions. When I came clean to Mica I said, "That's why I dropped all the Easter eggs when you walked in on me." He said, "Mom you mean you're the Easter Bunny too!? Don't tell me you're the Tooth Fairy as well!!!" Mica didn't believe in a person - Santa, but he did believe in a bunny and fairy.

I asked Mica, "Does Isaak still believe in Santa?" Mica said, "I don't know. What happens if he doesn't?" I said, "Well I guess there's no reason for Santa to bring gifts then." His eyes got wide. I said, "Just kidding Mica. Santa will still bring you things."

Isaak asked, "Mom is Santa some kind of stalker? He knows so much about me!" I said, "I don't know Isaak." His interpretation of fat, jolly man has certainly made a more dark turn.

The Elf on the Shelf Brita brought this traditional Santa I got to review from CSI Wall Panels.

I thought it was so classic and neat looking.

Mica: The Elf Brita is having a shoulder ride on some man statue.

Isaak: I think the Elf Brita brought us a homeless man.

Mica: Isaak he's called a hobo.

Me: Boys he's a classic Santa.

In Unison They Both Said: He's a Santa? He doesn't look like Santa. He looks homeless.

There you have it...we have a hobo in our living room. 

Did you believe in Santa? If you did, how did you find out there wasn't really a Santa? Or maybe there is one. ;)

I already put up this disclaimer: I got the the item mentioned in this review from CSI Wall Panels. CSI Wall Panels didn't influence me on what to write in this review. I only review things that I feel like my readers - you will enjoy, or are a good fit for my family. 

Portable North Pole - Personalized Santa Videos, Toys and More!

Mica asked about a month ago, "Mom when you get the videos from the Portable North Pole, let me know." It's been a couple years, since he's stopped believing in Santa. He apparently LOVES this tradition.

At first Santa said Mica's name, "Meeka",  even if I spelled it "Micah". Santa called him, "My Friend". Now he says his name correctly. They certainly advance the videos and names every year.

WW: Mulhalls {Linky}

A family owned nursery, Mulhalls has a great Santa, Mrs. Claus and his reindeer. They have a much shorter line than Bass Pro Shops, or anywhere else that I know of.

Isaak was all excited to give Santa this pop-up image:

What's on Isaak's list: A keyboard. He thinks he's a natural when it comes to playing the piano. 

This is probably Isaak's last year for believing. I told Mica for a few years that Saint Nicholas is in fact real. He's even in the encyclopedia. 

Mica lost his faith in Saint Nicholas a few years ago. He took his photo with Santa last year, but kept inching away this year. I'm surprised Isaak didn't say anything to him. 

Isaak sat next to Saint Nicholas and told him he wanted a keyboard. Then went to Mrs. Claus to get his candy cane.

The reindeer were uber tired. They must be resting up for their big trip ahead. ;)

We also walked around to see some other things. These are a few of my favorites:

I love this tree so much. It's filled with natural looking things.

Like these fake, but real looking succulents.

Portable North Pole

Every year our kids look forward to seeing and hearing from Santa! If you've never checked out Portable North Pole do so! You can put a kid, or adult's name and photo to make Santa's message seem magically real.

Portable North Pole (PNP) is an online platform used by Santa and his elves to send personalized video messages and calls to the people you care about most anywhere around the world.

I remember the first few times we did it Santa couldn't say Mica's name right. He kept saying, Meka. That's what I get for spelling my kid's names differently. Hey my Mom and Dad did it to me to: Alissa is usually Alyssa. Every year PNP adds things to their video, and make enhances. Mica's name is now said right.

In just a few simple steps, you can help Santa gather all the information he needs about your loved one and create a tailor-made video message or phone call that is positively magical. But that isn't all Santa and his magical elves have in store! To create truly unforgettable memories, you can even download a HD version of your video to keep for years to come.

Portable North Pole comes available in 3 main package types:

• The Free (Christmas and Birthday videos) I have to admit this is the only set we've tried in the past. I'm eager to try the others. 

• The Video Pass (Unlimited Premium Santa videos + Reaction Recorder, as well as access to previous seasons' videos) 

• The Magic Pass (Unlimited Premium Santa Videos, Reaction Recorder, HD Video downloads, access to previous seasons' videos)! Available for a limited time only: The Pre-Season Magic Pass, which also comes with a Santa-Approved Nice-List certificate that lets your loved one know if they are one Santa's Naughty or Nice list!

WW: Mulhall's {Linky}

We went to see the live reindeer at Mulhall's Landscaping and Nursery in Omaha.

Santa was there to. My boys are getting too big for his lap! Isaak still 1/2 way believes, so we still go to see Santa.

Isaak was happy he got a candy cane!

I never knew there were so many varieties of Poinsettia!
