Santa’s ETA for the Tri-Cities – 12 midnight!

Words cannot express how much I LOVE the NORAD tracks Santa site.  We log in every year (they provide hourly updates starting at 3am PST on 12/24) to see where Santa is on his travels.  My kids learn geography and find out where the big guy is expected next.

My favorite memory of Santa-tracking took place about five or six years ago; my son (somewhat unnerved by the thought of a corpulent, red-suited man breaking into our house in the middle of a cold December night, even if he did nothing more harmful than eat the cookies left out for him), heard that Santa was about to land in Nova Scotia around 5pm.  He promptly high-tailed it to his room, yelling as he went, “Santa’s in North American airspace!!!!  I gotta get to bed!!!!”

Have a joyous holiday.  God bless us, everyone.
