NORAD Santa Tracker Christmas Eve 2021

Christmas, along with the rest of the holiday season, is full of emotions. There's the joy of children thinking about Santa, the happiness of being together with family and friends, and the excitement of Christmas morning that doesn't diminish too much with age. But that's not all Christmas and the holidays bring. There's also, especially in recent Christmases amid the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic, greater feelings of loss and loneliness. And that latter part of the emotional rollercoaster is exactly what Chevrolet dove into head-first with its "Holiday Ride" promotional video and shortened version that's been airing on TV. Opening on...

This fascinating series of vintage photographs shows how New Yorkers were preparing for Christmas over a hundred years ago. The pictures - taken between 1900 and 1916 - feature everyday scenes of people in The Big Apple during the festive season. They document Manhattan streets thronged with shoppers, as well as images of street hawkers selling their seasonal wares. Other highlights include children eagerly window shopping and crowds gathered around an outdoor Christmas tree in Madison Square Park.

Yes, Virginia, there really is a war on Christmas, despite feeble attempts of the left to convince us that the controversy was concocted by Bill O’Reilly, FOX News and the dreaded Christian right. That the war is real is incontrovertible. More interesting is the why. An estimated 96% of Americans celebrate Christmas – not Kwanza, winter solstice, Eid or Buddah’s Birthday. According to a November Rasmussen poll, when shopping, 72% of Americans favor the salutation “Merry Christmas” to “Happy Holidays,” versus 22% who prefer the generic greeting. The Christmas camp (doubtless spurred by sinister, theocratic impulses) gained 4 percentage points...

What a great day of news! I've never had so many posts selected for the Main page (Breaking / Front Page News). Manchin really sent the Left into meltdown. I appreciate the work of the Mods and wish to donate but noticed the Feeepathon ended today. Can you still donate when it's closed? Or should I just wait? Merry Christmas.

While orbiting the Moon on Apollo 8, Christmas Eve, December 24, 1968, William Anders said, "We are now approaching lunar sunrise and for all the people back on Earth, the crew of Apollo 8 has a message that we would like to send to you. "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was without form and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light and there was light. And God saw the light,...

Merry Christmas from Spain. It may be a Socialist country but at least they still allow religious symbols on town land. This is our town hall decked out for Christmas.

Merry Christmas! As I wrote in the new Judicial Watch book “ A Republic Under Assault,” Christmas 2020 finds the foundations of our republic under attack. So, at a time like this, it may be best to step back and try to focus our hearts and minds on things that unite us. As we do, I am reminded of one of my favorite stories from Christmas past. On Christmas Day, 1776, the American Revolution appeared to be dead. George Washington’s Continental Army had been driven out of New Jersey. The British and Hessian troops, who assumed the serious fighting was...

Michigan attorney general Dana Nessel recently posted a tweet indicating that her adopted son was so triggered after hearing “Merry Christmas,” he nearly broke out in tears. “Let me begin by wishing you all a very Merry Christmas. Remember the word? Remember we started five years ago and I said “You’re going to be saying Christmas again,” and we say it proudly again although they’ll be trying to take that word again out of the vocabulary. We’re not going to let them do that,” she wrote in her first since-deleted tweet. Nessel made it clear that President Trump’s support of...

Christianity is the largest religion in the world, approximately a third of the world's population, according to Pew Research Center (2015). Christmas Day could possibly be considered the most celebrated religious holiday on the planet. The date of Christmas on December 25 has been studied for centuries. Some think that since it was in the winter, shepherds would not have been in the field with their flocks, but this argument loses credibility when one considers the moderate climate of Bethlehem in December, with an average daily temperature of around 50 degrees, similar to Florida or Texas. Some think December 25...

As I write this post, it is Christmas Eve. This is important because whether times be good for our cause or tougher for those who defend the little ones, many of us in the Movement are sustained through good times and bad by the assurance we are doing what He has appointed us to do. Paul Stark once wrote a brief but poignantly tender and observant story about “Three things Christmas tells us about human life and dignity,” including this paragraph. Christmas tells us The weak and vulnerable matter just as much as the strong and independent. God himself chose...

Watching A Charlie Brown Christmas has been a tradition for millions since it first aired on December 9, 1965. While many love the iconic Vince Guaraldi score, the humor and the animation, one part of the special has always stood out and made it unique: Linus’s recitation of the Gospel of Luke. Explaining the true meaning of Christmas in a network television special broadcast to millions was a controversial move, even 54 years ago. In 2015, a retrospective on A Charlie Brown Christmas. Michael Cavna explained Peanuts creator Charles Schulz’s mission in making the special: Charles Schulz insisted on one...

When Saul of Tarsus set out on his journey to Damascus the whole of the known world lay in bondage. There was one state, and it was Rome. There was one master for it all, and he was Tiberius Caesar. Everywhere there was civil order, for the arm of the Roman law was long. Everywhere there was stability, in government and in society, for the centurions saw that it was so. But everywhere there was something else, too. There was oppression -- for those who were not the friends of Tiberius Caesar. There was the tax gatherer to take the...
