It was one of those great moments when my extremely excited boys came and told me he had left. They've been checking the site for a few days. They are so hyper.

Re: Norad Santa !! Great

i sent this



From:
Sent: Wednesday, December 24, 2008
To: noradtrackssanta@gmail.com
Subject: message to santa ?



hello norad

is it too late to get a message to santa as i forgot to send a letter to the north pole to ask for a bike for christmas ?


paul (age 43 )


and they sent this.

I’d say try and see what happens. He’s out and about right now so I can’t promise whether he’ll get it or not.

Have a Merry Christmas!
