The arrival and departure of Santa Claus must be rather quick, since there are hundreds of millions of children on Santa's nice list around the world, so if there's 500,000 carbon copies of the same Santa on Christmas Eve on NORAD, I'm not surprised.
It's getting really close - 23 days left to Christmas, and hours away from me moving 125 miles away from Marysville to my new apartment west of Yakima. Brrr!! Expecting 5 degrees overnight on Wednesday in Yakima - is this WA or Alaska, I can't tell.
