The world's most wanted manhas embarked on his annual breaking-and-entering spree! Stop him before he reaches your house, using the power of NORAD. Track him as he wends his way around the world...(see! Missile-defense technology IS good for something!)

Don't forget the groovy tunes performed by the USAF Band of the Rockies,
the USAF Band of Mid-America, and the Royal Canadian Artillery Band. NORAD's rockin' around the Christmas tree.

Wait, nevermind, I sent my letter to Santa to the South Pole not the North Pole...

My view of the tracker tells me Santa is in Qatar about now. Is he part of the desert exercises happening there?

Yes. He's a pretty skilled pilot, and will be a great asset in the war against, um, whoever.

I would just like to note that the little RealPlayer movies of Santa are lame. Cyber-Santa? DigiSanta? Bleh. If they're gonna do it, would it be so hard to do some really crappy blue screen with a real actor?

Just call me Scrooge.

Is it me or does everyone just plum forget about Hannukkah Harry? He once saved Christmas, ya know.

readymade, I agree those real movies are just awful. What kid is going to believe that is real?

Santa....mmmm. Looks like Satan

Santa is impossible anyway! His reindeer would burst into flame!
