History Of The NORAD Santa Tracker
I always heard about the NORAD Santa tracker, it was a thing since I was a kid. But since it was always there, I never looked into its history. Now I’ve learned that its history is kind of cute. I guess a newspaper mistakenly printed a top secret military hotline as a talk to Santa …
Merry Christmas And All That Stuff
Since I’m’ posting this today, this song makes a good soundtrack. Yeah, it’s December 23 and I don’t know where the time has gone.

Opinions Needed On A Christmas Present
