I bear my testimony that there is a North Pole. Since that is where SC's home is, the fact that there is a North Pole is proof positive the SC is real. In the name of Rudolph, Amen.

When I was young, my mum, and dad....(not as much) invaccinated me with Mormonism and Santa,ism serum. At around 8, or 10 maybe, they gave me the Santa counteractant/neutralizer, but not the Mormonism cure.
Wish it wouldda been the other way around.

Singing carols on doorsteps instead of first discussions would have been much more fruitfilled.....for everybody.

You know (or don't know - this is Your social problem) I am a radar expert.


As it is so, I am an AUTHORITY.
Hear my words:
NORAD wrote:NORAD Tracks Santa
On Dec. 24, 1955, a call was made to the Continental Air Defense Command (CONAD) Operations Center in Colorado Springs, Colo. However, this call was not from the president or a general. It was from a girl in Colorado Springs who was following the directions in an advertisement printed in the local paper – she wanted to know the whereabouts of Santa Claus.
The ad said “Hey, Kiddies! Call me direct and be sure and dial the correct number.” However, the number was printed incorrectly in the advertisement and rang into the CONAD operations center.
On duty that night was Colonel Harry Shoup, who has come to be known as the “Santa Colonel.”
Colonel Shoup received numerous calls that night and rather than hanging up, he had his operators find the location of Santa Claus and reported it to every child who phoned in that night.
Thus began a tradition carried on by the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) when it was formed in 1958. Today, through satellite systems, high-powered radars and jet fighters, NORAD tracks Santa Claus as he makes his Yuletide journey around the world.
At that time (when the NORAD tracked Santa) we - Warsaw Pact - tracked NORAD...

It must have given the Warsaw Pact nations a little relief that for the month of December NORAD was more interested in Santa than the Soviet Block.

I wouldn't be surprised to find out that if there was a first strike plan for the USSR, it would have been scheduled for December 24th.
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

Or for Dec 6, the nameday of Santa.

As good timing as attack on Pearl Harbor.
Sunday early morning, mass and/or breakfast, on the morning of December 7, 1941

There's too much evidence of Santa to deny his existence:

- presents under the tree every year
- he can often be seen on Coke cans
- I've seen him in malls everywhere, which just goes to show how magical he is

...and if that wasn't enough...

- When I think of Santa, I get a tingly feeling in my tummy. Nothing tells me he's real quite like that bit of indigestion.

I love you, Santa Christ!
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.
