as days pass by, by Stuart Langridge

. Here I write about many things. In the past I wrote about other things but the past is past. I write code for people to play with, I write about my life on Twitter, and I write here.

On I wrote NORAD Santa cam, on the subject of notag.

You can follow Father Christmas’ progress around the globe via the NORAD Tracks Santa radar.
Every year NORAD do this. Every year. They’ve been doing it now for fifty years—the website is new, but they also take phone calls from kids and tell them where Santa is, and they have done so every Christmas for half a century. I cannot believe that they do this. It is wonderful. Wonderful. I’m sitting here—quite seriously—choked up at the thought of this bunch of military officers taking all this time and effort to make Christmas a bit more special for a bunch of kids around the globe. Wow.

how cool is that! if emilia comes down tonight, I’ll point her at this website (unless it says its been past the UK, of course). Merry Christmas!

sparkes

it’s not really that new, we have been using it for a couple of years to make that trip to bed on Christmas Eve a little easier.

Spencer

Santa isn’t real

Mel

Santa is real. If you believe in the magic of Christmas, then you believe in Santa...

Mommy said if I don't get to bed early Santa will fly over my house and not give me presents.

Santa Claus

I am using my laptop and I am very please with all the good boys and girls this Christmas. Do not think I am not real, I could easily call my friend the Grinch and he can take away all your presents and you will never see them again.

Santa webcam is just the best ! Best wishes to the U.S. military for this!

Kayleigh

I have been watching Santa every year, with my Granny and Grandad. I think it's great how you use Rudolph's nose. We leave a carrot for Rudolph, to say thank you when we leave Santa's mince pie and whisky (to keep out the cold, grandad says).
