Santa being tracked by Microsoft and Google

Once upon a time, parents could use the Santa clause to convince their kids to go to bed early on Christmas Eve, allowing time for last-minute wrapping, assembling, or even a Noel quickie. Now the little brats will be up all night, manning little radar screens in their bedroom command centers.

At first glance, I thought this was an Onion article about the reach of the NSA... but Microsoft is serious.

OK, even I was thinking there was an NSA joke somewhere in the article. The headline was tailor-made for such a joke.

Christmas is just around the corner. It was not until two years ago that I knew NORAD Santa Tracker. We can watch this website with English, Japanese, Spanish French Chinese, Italian, German and Portuguese. I check it every year with my cousins. My cousins are little children. We can learn history of Santa Claus and play games on this website. It grants a lot of Japanese children’s dream because Japanese can check this page.

Many Japanese people are not Christian. But all of Japanese look forward to Christmas. Of course, Japanese children look forward to coming Santa Claus. I also couldn’t wait for Christmas when I was child. I wrote a letter for Santa Claus at Christmas. Well, I can’t wait for Christmas even now.

A Waste of valuble time and resources.

They must be using supercomputers to track Santa - he makes stops at how many houses in just 1 night?

He is in such a hurry, he has never partaken of the milk and cookies I set out for him every Christmas Eve, but he always fills my stocking with goodies!
