So Many Ways To Talk To Santa!

Sleigh bells are jingling, halls are being decked, and partridges are roosting in pear trees. And as many kids around the country know, the countdown to Christmas morning has begun, and now, it’s easier than ever for your kids to get in touch with Santa!

Talk To Santa For Free

Call Santa On The Phone!

No stamps, no problem. It turns out that a good old fashioned pencil isn’t the only way to get a hold of Santa Claus anymore. Now, kids can reach the big guy in the North Pole by phone!

That’s right, Kris Kringle has a direct line. More than one, in fact!

  • (951) 262-3062
  • (319) 527-2680
  • (712) 770-4404
  • (605) 310-4000

Obviously this time of year keeps Santa busy in his workshop, so don’t be shocked when it goes to voicemail. Those toys don’t make themselves you know!

You Can Text Santa Too!

If your little one is a bit shy, you can always text The Holy Jolly Man.

Santa Claus has made his number toll-free for texts!

Santa’s digits are 844-YO-SANTA (844-967-2682). Children and their parents can now text in their Christmas wish lists to Santa and save on postage fees. Santa will be able to receive up to 1,000 texts per second on his toll-free phone number; picture messages included.

Santa stated they he and his team of elves are committed to responding to every text.

Personalized Call From Santa App

This app and this app both are great ways to set up/schedule personalized calls from Santa!

Use Your Home Helper Devices!

If you have an Echo, Echo Dot, etc. all you have to say is “Alexa, call Santa” and then your device will connect you to Santa Claus or one of his polar friends. Your Google Assistant can also call Santa! To start the call, just say “Hey Google, Call Santa” to your Google Home device or Google Assistant on your phone. When you do, you’ll hear a dialing sound and then be connected with an elf that will eventually transfer you to Santa, who happens to be in the middle of rehearsals for a holiday musical.

Message from Santa App

This app is allows kids to call Santa’s voicemail and choose to record a wish list, put someone on the naughty/nice list, find out the weather on the North Pole and so much more. There are also options to schedule a call, send text messages or create a video.

The Christmas Dialer

You can visit Christmas Dialer, give them your number and select from several automated messages. Need a warning from Santa? They’ve got you covered. They also have messages from your Elf on the Shelf.

Video Call Santa App

While this app is technically free, they have found ways to monetize the experience. One of the most popular (and totally worth it) upgrades is having the call personalized with your kiddo’s name.

Portable North Pole

This is another great technically free option that gets better if you don’t mind the splurge. Not only can you personalize, but you can send your video to groups of people. Plus, there are more options, including adults-only and birthday options. What kid wouldn’t love a personalized video message from Santa? Portable North Pole has multiple video options to choose from—you can even upload pictures of your child and have Santa show off a book filled with them.

Send Him A Letter

If you’re more into tradition, you can always mail Santa a letter!

His address is:

SANTA CLAUS
NORTH POLE H0H 0H0
CANADA

When The Branches Break

Should I or should I not? That seems to be the question for people who are considering walking out on a limb. I’m sure you’ve heard this expression before, but in case you haven’t, “out on a limb” is a euphemism for situations that mirrors some sort of risk. At times, taking risks can seem exciting. Yet, risks can also be terrifying. The limb symbolizes the land of the unknown — the land where the comfort zone goes to die. And at the same time, the limb can also be the land where the belief in self can be renewed.

Have you ever had an idea that seemed awesome at first, but somehow you eventually allowed your negative thoughts or the voices of others to penetrate your confidence, until your idea dwindled down to a mere notion in the back of your mind?

If so, you are not alone. I, too, have allowed this to happen once or twice. I had a great idea and decided to share it. But others did not understand my vision, and lacking their approval, I allowed my idea to vanish. 

At first, I would get upset with others because they were not excited as I was about my own idea. They would question it to death. This would cause me to second guess myself. Then I would decide not to breathe life into my own idea. Again, I would get upset. But who was at fault? Who was really the object of my anger?

It was me. I was angry for not breathing life into myself. I was letting other people or other distractions such as doubt, low confidence, and fear disengage me from my idea. Do not get me wrong, I do not think that people were intentionally trying to rain on my parade. Yet, I did let their doubt and criticism hold me back. I had to learn throughout a self-discovery process that I did not need other people’s permission or approval to chase my goals.

For me, this epiphany was life changing and freeing at the same time. I started to write my ideas down through a brainstorming process. No ideas were right or wrong; they were just ideas. After engaging in this exercise, I realized that some of my ideas were actually pretty fascinating. I am not saying this to be prideful. I am saying this to be bold and confident. I have come a long way in my personal journey to be able to embrace an attitude of confidence and boldness, and embrace it is exactly what I will do.

I decided that I was not going to walk out on a limb — I was going to break the branches with my ideas. I was going to soar.

Of course, it always feels great to have supporters in your circle. Having a cheer squad can do wonders for the psyche. But gaining the strength to believe in myself and to put my ideas into action felt like wind beneath my wings.

Local Woman Shocked To Discover Tupelo’s Bonfire Orchestra Is Neither Bonfire Nor Orchestra

0

TUPELO – A local woman claims that when she accepted a Facebook invite to see The Bonfire Orchestra, the last thing she expected to see was The Bonfire Orchestra.

“I showed up to Steele’s Dive and there was a band playing,” says Pam Pierce of Guntown.

The Bonfire Orchestra is a Tupelo-based band, a favorite among many locals. The band’s frontman Michael Thomas remembers the incident.

“I remember her. She seemed to be enjoying herself, but she kept checking her watch and looking around like she was confused.”

Thomas says that he’s not sure what she expected.

“I’m not sure what I expected,” says Pierce. “I guess I thought there’d be an orchestra playing around a bonfire, or an orchestra surrounded by fire, or something. Like an elegant yet rustic celebration of the arrival of Fall. I never expected to be pleasantly serenaded with soulful, energetic covers of some of my favorite songs by a local band with a fun, albeit misleading name.”

Thomas says he understands the confusion.

“This happens sometimes with bands. It’s exactly how Barenaked Ladies ended up with such a large male fan base.”

Pierce says she is excited for another upcoming event she saw on Facebook.

“I just accepted an invite called Spunk Monkeys. I love monkeys. They’re so spunky! I’m so excited to get to see some without having to go to the zoo.”

The 3rd Annual OurTupelo Christmas Light Map

0

For the last 2 years, we’ve offered up an editable Google Map where anyone can add Christmas Light Displays they find in the area to better help us all take those amazing light tours with the kids (or just ourselves) and see some of the creative, amazing, and fun setups. Well here we go again.

We’ve started it off, and will be adding more sites during the next few days. But don’t wait on us, if you see something, pull this link up on your phone and add a point of interest.

Editing the map is a bit more tricky on Mobile devices than on a desktop, but here are the basic instructions. It may vary a bit with your phone’s OS.

First, you have to open the map in a web browser like Chrome or Safari. To do this, first you have to open the map in your browser by clicking the OPEN IN BROWSER icon on the far right top. That should open it in your browser, but may also attempt to open it in Google Maps. Pull the browser back up. Click on the name of the map (at the bottom) and it will pull up the map legend, giving you an option to edit. Choose edit and then hit the PIN/ADD LOCATION button at the top. Click where you want to add it, and name the place. Boom, (at last) you are done.

Merry Light Hunting everyone!

I’m Dreaming of an Awesome Christmas!

Receive $25 Amazon Card for Donating Blood Today!

Donors to receive $25 Amazon Gift Card

TUPELO, MS — From Vitalant:

The holidays are officially in full swing and Vitalant wants to celebrate with you the wonder that blood donations can bring many families this holiday season. Your donation is needed to help in emergency situations or even routine surgeries.

All blood types are needed, especially type O and platelet donations.

Vitalant is asking donors to donate now to ensure that blood is ready to serve patients when it is needed. This time of year, blood donations decrease by over 20 percent — while blood usage goes up due to increased travel and other accidents.

Vitalant relies on donors to donate regularly, especially during the holiday season when your donation is vital. Blood is needed every 2 seconds in the United States and the need stays constant, regardless of any holiday.

To ensure an ample blood supply, Vitalant is encouraging donors to skip the shopping lines and save lives with us.

Patients like Jaziel relied on donors during his cancer treatment. “My childhood was interrupted by cancer for six long, extremely emotional years,” Jaziel said. “I can say I always knew I wasn’t alone thanks to my generous blood donors.” Blood donors ensure patients like Jaziel are able to continue fighting and can make more memories with their friends and family.

When you donate with Vitalant at the donation center — located at 4326 South Eason Boulevard in Tupelo — any time from November 29-December 15, you’ll receive a $25 Amazon gift card through our online rewards store.

To find a Vitalant donation center visit vitalant.org or call 877-25VITAL.

Blood donation takes about an hour from check-in to refreshments. Donors can save about 20 minutes by completing their Fast Track Health History the day they donate. It’s at vitalant.org.

Volunteer blood donors must be at least 16 years old, weigh at least 110 pounds and be in good health. Additional height/weight requirements apply to donors 22 and younger, and donors who are 16 and 17 must have signed permission from a parent or guardian.
