    Norad

    As they have for the past 53 years NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) tracks Santa as he travels the globe delivering presents. We've been going on this site since we've had spawn. As soon as Santa enters Canadian air space they immediately go bolting upstairs to bed without even being told . Merry Christmas everyone and remember;
    Not only does 'HE' see you when you're sleeping and when you're awake, NORAD is also watching!

    Everything I needed to know about NORAD, the Mid Canada line, and the DEW line I learned from the wonderfully informative 50's monster movie "The Deadly Mantis"

    Cheers

    Why am I not surprised? Please, however, mock NORAD. They are amazingly sophisticated as they can track, in real time, somebody that surprisingly looks like our James MacMillan* and eight drunken reindeer all over the world.



    *Speaking of Jay, has anyone seen him of late? He must be busy somehow this time of the season.

    Cute guys! But I have had fun playing Santa many, many times. That's why I wasn't on line Friday or Saturday. I was Santa at two different Orphanages in TJ..... That is fun every year, I've been doing that for longer than I have been kilted.

    Once, while walking around a downtown shopping area in Guadalajar Mexico, I noticed a little girl that couldn't take her eyes off me, finally she got enough nerve, to approach and ask - ¿Eres Santa? (Are you Santa?) thankfully I was quick thinking and said No, soy su primo. ¿Porataste bien? ( No, I'm his cousin, have you been a good girl?)

    Being fat and bearded can be fun

    Speaking of Grant, he must be off on vacation. If you mock ccga3359, and he doesn't respond, does an angel still get its wings?
