I really hope that it actually isn't the people who work at NORAD who set this up every year, because if it is...these people need to find a better way of entertaining themselves that doesn't continue to fool little kids into believing that Santa exists.
By the way, what does NORAD stand for again? It has slipped my mind at the moment...
Corneliu

Your a scrooge!

NORAD= North Oceanic Radar Air Defense (I think)

And yes, the people at norad have been doing this for 50 years and this is their 5th year of doing this online. There's a nice story on how it all got started too!

I was talking to a friend of mine associated with the FAA, Santa almost wasn't able to make the trip this year with his sled, his rotating beacon, also known as Rudolph, wasn't shining at the time of inspection, but they got him fixed!

Your guess is as good as mine what that is in the Newfoundland pic. I think it's the eastern seaboard city lights.

Just a stat, as of right now, Santa has eaten roughly 825,246,250 cookies!

My last update since he is now at the US/Canada Border.

All kids along the East Coast should be in bed right now and those in the Central should be going to bed because Santa is officially on the continent.

Good night all and Merry Christmas!
