Santa may be fiction but the *spirit* of Santa Claus is alive and well in billions of loving parents, grandparents, children, wives, husbands and friends all over the world.

Wonderful article. Thanks lowbridge.
Merry Christmas, all.
Here's a blast from the past I hope you remember and enjoy again. I ran it on my $2 embedded XP box the other day, just to see if it worked.
