NORAD preparing to track Santa’s journey

Give it a read if you have a minute, it is wonderful. “We could not do it without them”. It is a sad milestone.

The call center in a training building will be staffed for 23 hours and Christmas Eve and volunteers will also share Santa’s location on Facebook and Twitter.

That changed one December day in 1955, when Shoup answered the red phone and heard a child’s voice, with a question. We never see him. Why must they be asleep? Now sure, you could argue that the real meaning of Christmas is lost in the commercialism, materialism and marketing of the season or that Santa is only going to make children think of what toys they’ll be spoiled with. “Is he near me?’ It’s very much magical”, said Campbell.

She told him she would leave food for him and his reindeer.

“The children are really over the moon”, said headteacher Claire Mudd, who was contacted by Peter Carter, of Carter’s Ices, to bring a Santa’s grotto to the school after hearing of the vandalism. DC doesn’t understand cost/size vs. number of gifts. That means Santa has to reach into his magic sac (didn’t I tell you magic played a role) to pull out just the right item. I was thinking I could get both.

“What did he say when you told him?”

Rudolph’s readiness, Santa said, is probably due to the efforts of his head elf, Mortimer, who has been working overtime to assure that Santa and the sleigh are in flying shape. So now that the is an adult, Santa only delivers his stocking and the rest of the gifts in his pile are from Mom.

Have you ever wondered what Santa Claus’ office looks like? He was fine with this.

It’s just another day at the mall, providing that day is three days before Christmas. Should I just drop the act and acknowledge the legend as fiction, or should I keep it up for the sake of the younger kids (3 and 5)? While this Santa event was planned first back in August, I feared someone would get sick or there would be a snow storm and it was the weekend before Christmas so if this Santa experience failed, we would have no Santa experience so I planned another. He knew he was correct in believing. All the elves are very excited. The elves like to be together so they sleep in one big room but they all have their own beds. He received more hugs that he expected, I imagine. NORAD says Santa usually starts in the South Pacific and hits New Zealand and Australia before heading to Japan and Asia.

If the only time a family talks about Jesus is when he’s sharing the bill with Santa, Jesus will lose.

If you hurry, Hershey-based charity Gemma’s Angels asks for donations in return for personalized Santa calls, Monday through Wednesday this week.
