Don't go on about Christmas!

by mea 12/18/2007 11:20:00 AM

This is the time for children of all ages to enjoy stories of fairies, angels and the grand daddy of them all,Saint Nicholas aka Santa Claus . Originally a holy and wealthy man living in Turkey, he gave away gifts to help poorer families. He lives on in the round and merry figure who has moved to the most northen most town on Earth. 

A story with a twist.....A wrong number (dialled for a Xmas site) got the commanding officer of NORAD. This inspired the the NORAD Tracks Santa Web site, courtesy of  the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD). For over fifty years on Christmas Eve NORAD has told stories of how their powerful tracking systems such as the Distant Early Warning Line (DEW Line) detected Santa Claus leaving the North Pole to deliver his presents.This happens every year. With the help of Google Earth it has grown into a truly spectacular sight.
Following is a Youtube version of a little of last year's show.

 
To watch Santa do his thing this year on December the 24th visit Norad tracks Santa

A very Merry Christmas to you all! 
 
And please remember a Christmas prayer for ALL the citizens Of Bethlehem
