...very convincing. I know it's a bit old fashioned, but I still like to tell my 7 year old he's real.

8. It's TRUE!! Something about him being an "unchristian symbol"
possibly associated with pagans and other terrorists. He is to be detained for questioning, perhaps indefintitely.

9. Anything mentioned about tthe stand down order on 9/11?
How about how they lied to congress and the American people about the war games?

They'd just give another Santa story I suppose.

I just called my 6-year-old grandson with the site. He's very excited and is going to track him.

Very cute picture on the Santa web cam........a teeny-tiny-sleigh and eight little reindeer dots,and one in front for Rudolph......... has the Eiffel Tower in the foreground.

12. Heard on NPR the story of how it got started
A newspaper ad w/ a phone number for kids to talk to Santa. The number was printed incorrectly as NORAD's #.
