No, no, no - it's not that there's no pixie dust allowed. It's just that people reading this forum need to know we provide factual, sugar-coating-free information and responses!

Safe and Happy Holidays... oh, heck - MERRY CHRISTMAS - to you and yours, too, dburg! My 'travel', if anybody cares, will be to the local gourmet Chinese restaurant and back - 1.5 miles, tops

And of course, he's pretty quick, so he shouldnt disrupt any air travel, but if you need to know if you may get a view of the guy in the red suit while flying or if you have young ones that need to know, remember you can track his movements at

Somewhere near Japan right now, according to my local news - Krill Islands? Coral Islands? One anchor said the first, the other said the second, the first responded, "Somewhere hard to pronounce" and then went on to the more generalized location

And I always forget how the whole norad thing started, then thankfully the news sites remind me every year

Would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when the first call came in back in 1955

I love that story.

But, am I going to need a passport when I travel to Toronto now? That city keeps moving. I was at the annual meeting of an American group earlier this year and they listed the location of the next few meetings. The 2011 meeting is in Toronto, Alberta

Yea I did get a chuckle out of the little snafu back in 07 with google earth . The Canadian General saying "So I understand the US has a new City"

>>> NORAD

It seems as if NORAD's reports to the various stations are inconsistent for example CNN says Santa is over Chicago while NBC says Santa is over Los Angeles while CBS says Santa is over Israel.

Perhaps Falcon or his family should hitch a balloon to a miniature sleigh and let it up into the air so people in airplanes can look out the window and see Santa and perhaps NORAD would make a real report.

Ph.D. in physics required: "Santa's location on Christmas Eve is described by the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle."

>>> no pixie dust allowed

The white streak on the train (shown near HKDL) represents a substance known to Disneyphiles as pixie dust.

Merry Christmas.
