I'm so glad this tradition continues. I know Monika loved it originally when we would do it, and now I love that she's incorporating it to the nieces and nephews. I have a feeling before to long that one of them might take over the mantle from her.
I don't mean immediately, but I think it would be cool!

Santa seems to be in the eastern U.S. kind of early this year. I hope he's not too far ahead of schedule. I wouldn't want Madeline and our nieces & nephews to still be awake when he arrives!

I know which one you mean and I'm grooming her, just like you groomed me! So there!

This is our best tracking ever!. I love the highlights! Thank you, Monika!
I would tell you to be in bed when Santa was here, but I think he makes an exception for you tracking him. I know for a fact he has visited!

FINAL UPDATE: One last SCtoC satellite glimpse. Santa is done with his journey. I think he did pretty well this year (as always!). I want to thank Santa and NORAD for taking us around the world for Christmas 2022. He delivered over 7.5 billion gifts this Christmas. The graphic does not include a few more; the total number of gifts this year is 7,623,693,263.
Merry Christmas to all!

Good night everyone! I'm out! Three-and-a-half hours until the nieces and nephews get to open some presents! I'm so happy they are all here!
