I love, love, love that NORAD does this. They even have a hotline you can call with live operators. Last year, we were at my folks' with all my sisters and their kids and we called on speakerphone. My daughter asked when Santa was due to arrive in PA and the operator said, "Right now!" Holy crap...you have never seen a group of children so panicked! They let out a giant collective scream and scattered. It was absolute mayhem as they all rushed to their cars without coats or shoes. It is, without a doubt, my favorite Christmas moment ever. Thanks NORAD!!

That is a great story.

Oh Oh! Santa just visited Toronto, Ontario, United States! Fucking Bush can't leave office without yet another country invaded?

Kelly,

Our invasion attempt was thwarted! :-)

Thanks for catching that error. It's fixed now. Refresh your browser to see.


Less then 2 minutes! These folks are great.

hahahaha!

This was excellent - my kids kept refreshing to see where Santa was up to. I told them they had to get to bed before he got to Australia or they would miss out. All the hassle of Christmas was almost worth it for that one night of not having to fight to get them to go to bed and stay there ;-)
