Children Mesmerized And Delighted By Phone Call From Santa Claus!

He sees you when you're sleeping, he knows when you're awake, and now he calls you at home. Santa's elves have added children's phone numbers to his list of who's naughty and nice, and when he gets their letters, Santa might just give your children a call to discuss their wishes and dreams, work out chimney logistics, and remind them to be nice to their brothers and sisters.

The elf behind these magical phone calls is Chuck Salisbury of Mission Viejo, California. As a youngster in rural Illinois, Salisbury was one of the final holdouts in late childhood believing in the legend of Santa Claus. As Salisbury grew and became a father, he became increasingly aware of the miracle of generosity and the human spirit during the Christmas season.

Now as a grandfather, Salisbury has booked Santa by special arrangement to make personal phone calls to children everywhere. This Santa connects with each child talking about their brothers and sisters, friends and school, and favorite things. Parents, grandparents and others who want to make sure Santa has the phone number of the special children in their lives can sign up for a LIVE phone call from Santa for a $25.00 fee at http://www.TalktoSanta.org

Karen Rathman, whose daughter Alicia received a call from Santa in 2003, said, “Santa, we are so thankful for your call to my sick child. We were not able to go to the mall to see you, but your call provided smiles and giggles to my precious child. Thank you for your kindness and concern about Alicia's health.”

Salisbury says, “The Internet can bring a link to the jolly old man who loves and understands children and the parents who love them. The same Santa that loved me and read my letters is preparing his sleigh and reindeer for another Christmas eve trip that will bring happiness to everyone who believes. As for me, I will never stop believing, for I have seen blessings he's brought to children of all ages.”

Talk to Santa, Inc. supports the efforts of Toys for Tots and Samaritan's Purse as a way to bring Christmas joy to children throughout the world.
