Where's Santa? NORAD Knows!

Follow St. Nick as he makes his way across the globe to your house.

Posted by Elissa Bass (Editor), December 21, 2011 at 04:15 pm

Dear Children,

Here's the deal: Your friends at NORAD use all the modern technology to track Santa's journey across the globe on Christmas Eve. They use "four high-tech systems to track Santa – radar, satellites, Santa cams and fighter jets." That's awesome.

In fact, they've been doing it for more than 50 years!

But ... Santa cannot come to your house until you are tucked into bed, lights out, and you are SOUND ASLEEP. Only then can he be cleared for landing on your roof.

So - GO TO BED! And have a very Merry Christmas from Patch!

WE supposedly elect…Read More people who take the trust of the people with them when elected and do the will of WE THE PEOPLE. This has never happened. Especially in state and federal office. Once in office the power they discover they now have pushes aside the will of the people. It an attitude of we have the power and you don't. Someday, but I doubt it, we can elect those who will not loose site of why they were elected.
