Dec. 24, 2004 -- A "mostly" unidentified object was spotted this morning soaring at extremely high altitude just north of Alaska, apparently headed south.
After pin-pointing the object on radar, U.S. military aircraft was poised to provide an "emergency" escort to the United States and other points through midnight tonight.
Though uncertain of the origin of the high-flying object, it is believed to resemble an old-fashioned sleigh and a jolly fat man can be seen with the reins to a passle of wild reindeer.
The object appears to be overloaded, with strange packages spilling out and dropping onto villages and cities as it makes it's way to various destinations.
President George W. Bush and Pentagon officials are aware of the situation and have ordered an uninterrupted flight for the sleigh, with cookies and hot chocolate served whenever and wherever it lands.
There is also a banner streaming from the rear of the sleigh-like object pronouncing: "Merry Christmas!"
I'm 57 years old and there is a Santa Claus. It's in the heart you know?

Sorry about the double post. I was looking up at the sky.
Refueling the sleigh. That's funny. LOL.
Yes Varina, there is a Santa Claus. :)
Haaahaaahahahhaaahaha!
That is soooooo funny. I know, I'm warped.
I'll bet he enjoys it, too. Does he share with you?
What are you saying? Of course there is a Santa. Tomorrow I'll prove it. Just look for the lump of coal in YOUR stocking..... : )
Ringo Starr is the official NORAD Christmas Eve spokesman, as he was last year.
The grandkids and us have been tracking Santa all day with NORAD. We even had to call NORAD this morning, and a very nice Major helped us get going (had to clear our files because we had "tested" the system last night. Some fluke in the system. Then all systems were a "go").
It has been a blast!
This is a job well done by NORAD and a tradition we pray the ACLU doesn't get their grimmy little hands on and try to stop.
You can even click on where Santa has already been today.
Great job. Very exciting!
If you have little ones, or know someone who does. Definitely go there!!
We just minimized it, and we refresh it on occassion :o)

So beautiful! I always get tears in my eyes when they fly over. Really went through the tissue when I lived in Colorado Spring (the Air Force Academy, for those who don't know).
God bless all our wonderful airmen, and our brave troops in Iraq. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!
>This aircraft is going to need to land and all of it's occupants searched for nail clippers before it is allowed to enter US airspace<
LOL, MERRY CHRISTMAS, AND A BLESSED NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!
Merry Christmas, everyone!
