Set Up a Personalized Call from Santa

It’s that time of year again: Time to send someone a personalized holiday call from Santa Claus. The jovial St. Nick (or, well, Google) asks you a few questions then creates a customized message you can send by phone, email, or Google+.

It’s a fun little holiday tool that you can send to anyone, seeing as some choices for your recipient’s occupation include “accountant,” “IT guy,” and “Sith master.” Besides Christmas, you can choose the celebration to be “winter,” “the season,” and “staying warm,” among others. (I’m fond of the nickname suggestions, such as “home skillet” and “schmoopie.”)

Note that personal phone calls are available to North American phone numbers only and during the day, but the email and Google+ messages are 24/7. Spread some cheer.
