the only kid round these parts that might distantly appreciate it is way too young.

4. Take comfort in that it's recycled every year.
They don't have to do any real tracking, you know. ;)

12. I'm in Mexico City wiht Parents right now and it is COLD
People don't realize, it is so high in the mountains that there is real weather round these parts.

Even some snow in the outskirts.

14. OMG, that brings back memories. My dad was in the USAF, and when we lived
in Japan in the early 60's I think they had radio reports from the military about how radar was tracking Santa's progress. Things sure have changed - a special website even!!!

17. I remember the Air Force "tracking Santa" when I was a kid
They always announced it on the news for Xmas eve. Nowadays, I send this website out to all my friends with kids.

15. This site is adorable!
My 7 year old is on it now. When I was young the local station used to have a Santa radar and I used to get that excited over it as well. Ah, to be young and innocent again! :)

18. The kids really like this site.
I sent it to my friends' kids, and they were on it until bath time. Then they had to go to bed and wait for Santa. Oh, the angst! :)
