        Just wanted to say how much I appreciate the amount of details that you provide us. Some are important, others just interesting, but all are worth your effort to do, so for that alone, we are grateful to you.

        Awesome, my grandkids will be tracking Santa tonight. They are so excited. I pray for those kids whose circumstance doesn’t allow them to enjoy Christmas. May God shine his light on them.

        After pulling out of the Paris Agreement, I was concerned that Trump might pull out of NORAD because Canada doesn't pay it's fair share for tracking Santa Clause🎅
