Reindeer games: Google spreads holiday cheer

Want to give your kids or a friend a special Christmas Eve surprise? Consider a message from Santa.

In case you missed it, Google's Santa Tracker website also includes a messaging feature that lets users send messages directly from St. Nick himself. Scroll across and look for Santa with a phone to get started.

Messages are sent by phone, email or through Google+, and can be customized for any occasion from Christmas to "The Season."

The site also features a couple cool Christmas-themed games such as Present Drop (carefully drop presents into fast-moving chimneys) and Racer, where players guide a reindeer-led sleigh and pick up gifts while traveling through an icy track.

Of course, as the site's name suggests, users can track Santa's journey around the world.
