    although not wanting to come across as being political, i appreciated the original post as it made me aware of what it was all about. and i like to know just what i'm "supporting"

    i hope you all have a merry xmas,

    love

    Karin - I made 4 suggestions in my last post for free Christmas activities and I agree that this is a freebie discussion forum.

    Just because something is free doesn't meant that there isn't a catch to it - there often is and we should be aware of the catches - thats all I was pointing out.

    We need to get out more and interact with the kids rather than sitting round a computer.

    But I take your point and I'm sorry that I may have seemed political.

    Best wishes

    i am really thick with computers - how do i bookmark something?
    Cleaning the house while children are growing is like shovelling snow when it's still snowing!
  • do you have internet explorer? If so, when viewing the 'Norad' page, click on favourites (at the top), then 'add'.
    It should be saved in there ready to view!

    The NORAD Santa Tracking team tracked Santa on Nov. 27, 2005, from the North Pole to Hollywood Blvd. in Hollywood, Calif., as he participated in the Hollywood Christmas Parade.

    This was a test of the NORAD Santa tracking systems and confirmed that "All Systems Are Go" for Dec. 24, 2005.

    Below are the video updates filmed from within the Cheyenne Mountain Operations Center with actual radar and satellite imagery from that day:

    some downloads of videos etc, also other bits and pieces on the site are now up and running (largely american "celebrities" with cheesy vids)
    enjoy

    I had forgotten all about this one - thanks, it is a great site.

    Oh and please don't worry about us. We won't be spending Christmas Eve only looking at Norad but I will enjoy tracking Santa before bedtime.

    Thank you so much for this, my children will love it. My son is nearly 7 now and I'm really worried that this will be his last year as a true 'believer' so I want to make sure it's really special.
    Can you track him all day or just in the evening as we prepare for his arrival?
