MERRY CHRISTMAS, early risers!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL! 

To All who find some reason to visit this blog once in a while, Thank You. May your Christmas be Blessed. 

Remember those separated from their loved ones - for whatever reasons - especially deployed U.S. Troops. Merry Christmas. May God watch over them and their families every single moment. God Bless You! 

For those experiencing this holiday alone, or for the first time without someone special in their lives, remember the good memories and hold onto them because those are the moments that matter.

Merry Christmas Eve Morning!

Happy Christmas Eve Day. 🕈

Joe and Jill Biden speak with "excited young Americans...curious about the whereabouts of Santa Claus."

Wondering how many times Joe asked the children callers, "How old are you?" We know he did.

If it says, "From Santa," it's From Santa!

Santa on NORAD starts six hours and about 45 minutes.

NORAD tracks Santa's global trip once again. 

Bookmark the site. It's fun to check out over the next 24 hours or so, (I recall it ends early Sunday AM), especially for the little kids and the adults who set down the Eggnog and move to something bolder.

There's activities to do at the site by clicking on the buildings. 

Clicking on the roof of the second house from the left, (not the Tickets booth), brings you to Play Games, I tried a few and they're not easy. Try Find The Pug and see if you can find that damn Pug before the time expires. I couldn't.  Santa Chase? Unpossible.

There's also music, some which is really good (explained below).

At the Santa/NORAD link at the top:

The artists vary, but some music is from the bands of the U.S. Merchant Marine, the U.S. Coast Guard and the U.S. Air Force Academy are Impressive!

U.S. Military command teams in charge of protecting homeland security isolated in Cheyenne mountain bunker.

Daily Mail: U.S. military command teams in charge of protecting homeland security are being isolated in the infamous Cheyenne mountain bunker where they will remain 'sealed off' until the coronavirus pandemic passes.

The command took such steps to ensure personnel can monitor the COVID-19 pandemic around the clock as the disease spreads around the world[.]
[.]
Should the staff working at the bunker become ill, there is a third team of high-ranking military officials working another 'secret' location[.]
[.]
'Our dedicated professionals of the NORAD and NORTHCOM command and control watch have left their homes, said goodbye to their families and are isolated from everyone to ensure that they can stand the watch each and every day to defend our homeland.[']
[.]
The NORAD base lies behind 23-ton blast doors and is arguably the most secure place on earth. A warren of tunnels was blasted out of Colorado granite in the 1960s and is now teeming with high-tech surveillance and monitoring equipment.
[.]
The bunker lies 2,000 feet under Cheyenne Mountain outside Colorado Springs. It can be sealed off by two giant blast doors made of concrete and steel, each 3½ feet thick.
[.]
It takes 45 seconds for built-in hydraulic machinery to close the blast doors. If the hydraulics fail, two people can close them by hand.

The Daily Mail article is quite interesting with great photos of some of what is contained within Cheyenne Mountain.

Along with all those working in the medical field, those protecting the public (law enforcement, fire-fighters, first responders, etc), the truckers, delivery drivers, volunteers putting in time without pay to help others - say a prayer for those who protect our nation. All of these people are putting our lives ahead of their personal interests and their personal lives. We owe them BIG TIME.

Santa is on the move.

Check it out: NORAD tracking Santa.

Click on the screen and move around on the map.

Santa on NORAD.

NORAD tracks Santa's global trip beginning (of publishing time) in 1 day and 4 hours. Bookmark the site. It's fun to check out, especially for the kids.

Until Santa's trip starts, there's an "Explore the North Pole; Let's Go" icon and it leads to a page that looks like there's some fun stuff for the kids to play online. I spent ten seconds on that page, so...not my fault if the kids complain.😏

I check out Santa's trip from time to time while vaping a mixture of transmission fluid and Ragu.

The Santa/NORAD home page (the link at the beginning) also has music available, and it's perfect background Christmas and holiday music to have on anytime. The music is streaming now and I believe continues until Santa's trip is complete.

The artists vary, but some music is from the bands of the U.S. Merchant Marine, the U.S. Coast Guard and the U.S. Air Force Academy. They're fantastic!

Santa on NORAD. Government Shutdown Can't Stop Santa

The government shutdown won't affect NORAD from following Santa on his deliveries. Which begs the question, is there anyone our government doesn't track?

Check the NORAD site later tonight. It's actually kind of fun to watch. And the kids will love it.
