MrsW, that thing is WRONG!! It says Santa is going to "Broome, Australia." Those silly Aussies don't love Santa. WE know dis.

Besides, I am certain that Santa is AMERICAN.

The original St Nicholas, who was a real person, was Turkish. He used to distribute presents to poor children. This is a real true fact because it was on the BBC.

Being Jewish it might seem a little odd that I would track Santa. But as one of my NEW Traditions last year I did and my boys thought I was off my rocker.
I thought it was so cool and found myself choked up at various points. Thank you for this. I wanted to track him again.

Ya'll ever notice how overly POLITE those nice little Canadians are? It is because we have to smack em down every once in a while and remind them of their manners. See how well it has worked?

Mel, You know if you zoom in on that map you can see a lot of detail. In fact, I found your house... Mel's House Got your shoppin' done yet? 12 Days of Christmas Walmart is havin' some amazing sales right now... For those who prefer a more traditional Christmas song... White (Trash) Christmas This just in... Santa is running behind and so has called in reinforcements... From Texas, I guess... Memo from Santa.
The Night Before Christmas (Texas Style)T'was the night before Christmas, in Texas, you know.
Way out on the prairie, without any snow.
Asleep in their cabin, were Buddy and Sue,
A dreamin' of Christmas, like me and you.
Not stockings, but boots, at the foot of their bed,
For this was Texas, what more need be said,
When all of a sudden, from out of the still night,
There came such a ruckus, it gave me a fright.
And I saw 'cross the prairie, like a shot from a gun,
A loaded up buckboard, come on at a run,
The driver was "Geein" and "Hawin", with a will,
The horses (not reindeer) he drove with such skill.
"Come on there Buck, Poncho, & Prince, to the right,
There'll be plenty of travelin' for you all tonight."
The driver in Levi's and a shirt that was red,
Had a ten-gallon Stetson on top of his head.
As he stepped from the buckboard, he was really a sight,
With his beard and moustache, so curly and white.
As he burst in the cabin, the children awoke,
And were so astonished, that neither one spoke.
And he filled up their boots with such presents galore,
That neither could think of a single thing more.
When Buddy recovered the use of his jaws,
He asked in a whisper, "Are you really Santa Claus?"
"Am I the real Santa? Well, what do you think?"
And he smiled as he gave a mysterious wink.
Then he leaped in his buckboard, and called back in his drawl,
"To all the children in Texas, Merry Christmas, You-all"

1. There is no danger of a Grinch stealing your presents from Bubba Claus. He has a gun rack on his sleigh and a bumper sticker that reads: "Gun Control is a Steady Hand." Am I the real Santa? Well, what do you think?"
And he smiled as he gave a mysterious wink.
Then he leaped in his buckboard, and called back in his drawl,
"To all the children in Texas, Merry Christmas, You-all" I love it!  Just for that, I am going to share my annual Christmas picture with you all! ![[Linked Image from pic50.picturetrail.com]](http://pic50.picturetrail.com/VOL427/742855/1277618/59351329.jpg)
