    You know, for a fat guy...he can MOVE!! Won't be long and he'll get to NFLD and the American eastern seaboard.

    He's making a stop to the International Space Station too. The man just keeps going and going...puts the Energizer bunny to shame.

    I can remember being 7-8 years old, and my parents calling me downstairs for the 11:00 p.m. news. They did the whole NORAD alert thing, and showed F-4 Phantoms scrambling out of North Bay. There was brief radio chatter, and then the pilots reported a visual sighting of . . . SANTA CLAUS. Orders were to escort the sleigh through North American airspace, thus ensuring Christmas for all the little boys and girls. Funny, the silly things you remember . . .

    I can remember every Christmas, my brother would wake me up at about 3am, just after Santa left, and we would sneak downstairs past the parents bedroom and see what was left.

    We would then open EVERY gift, no matter who's name was on it. Then, we would start switching name tags so that he and I got all the GOOD stuff, and our two youngest brothers got all the socks.

    We would then rewrap them all, put them back under the tree, and head back to bed until we were called downstairs. Could NEVER figure out how mom and dad KNEW who was supposed to get what, regardless of the name tags.

    When Sarah was 4 yrs old I went up on the roof Christmas Eve, after she was asleep. Stomped around enough to wake her, and the look on her face the next morning was priceless. "Guess what Daddy? I heard Santa on the roof last night." Bee-yoo-ti-full.

    I remember when I was like 5 or 6 my cousin and I were looking out of a window and saw a red light in the sky and thought it was Rudolph. Then there was the year we cracked the case of there being no Santa. I got a spy kit for my birthday and on Christmas we put down a powder that only showed up under blacklight and noticed that the only footprints were from my parents room.

    You sound like a NON BELIEVER! :rage:

    Oh well...its Christmas...even PhilIvey can get into the spirit if he lets it happen.

    You know, I had a thought this afternoon while shopping. I truly do LOVE Christmas. The message of hope, of love...being with family and friends and celebrating together. Those are truly wondrous moments to hold dear for a lifetime.

    Preparing for Christmas though, I truly dread.

    Oh whatever...MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

    We hired Santa one year to come and see the kids at our Christmas eve party...well it looked as though Santa had gotten into a bit of a scrap with the elves as he was nursing a nearly healed shiner and I was surprised by his stance that "The children in Iraq and afghanistan weren't getting anything this year because of the war" Thank goodness the kids were too small and excited to notice these minor faults. :D

    Well, that would explain the shiner . . .
