Santa is a busy man this time of year. Between making sure the elves are on schedule and deciding who has been naughty and nice, Santa may not necessarily have time to drop a line to his young fans around the world.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t step up and help out St. Nick.
A new app will allow you to send a customized postcard from Santa. The free app, called Postcards from Santa, allows users to choose from one of five nostalgic pictures of Santa Claus. They then type in the name and physical mailing address of the young recipient. The sender can come up with a personal message or pick a pre-written message from Santa.
The app is free to download. Postcards are $1.99 each, which includes printing and worldwide postage.
“It’s a fun thing to do, practical and quick,” says Matthew Brezina, founder of e-mail service Xobni, who came up with the idea with a buddy. His side venture is named Camera Shoot Photo Postcards.
It takes two to five days for a postcard to be delivered in the U.S. and Canada, five to 14 days for the rest of the world.
The app is available for iPhone and Android users.
