Track Santa via YouTube, Google Earth, Google Maps, and now Twitter. Link, blockquote, and sound bite (above) via NORADsanta.org...

For more than 50 years, NORAD and its predecessor, the Continental Air Defense Command (CONAD) have tracked Santa’s Christmas Eve flight.

The tradition began in 1955 after a Colorado Springs-based Sears Roebuck & Co. advertisement for children to call Santa misprinted the telephone number. Instead of reaching Santa, the phone number put kids through to the CONAD Commander-in-Chief's operations "hotline." The Director of Operations at the time, Colonel Harry Shoup, had his staff check radar for indications of Santa making his way south from the North Pole. Children who called were given updates on his location, and a tradition was born.

Wondermark's latest print, the "Hierarchy of Beards," depicts the evolutionary history of luxuriant face-fur.

ok. a sign that says what? "will dance for chocolate!" maybe we can give her chocolate beforehand and get her face all chocolatey! she'll be hyper - and then we can just get a photo of her and put on the card - "will dance for chocolate!"

i dunno - keep thinking. i was thinking the big white fluffy comforter (to look like snow) and then some garland on top of that and then her doing something cute - ??

keep thinking!!
