Three Christmas questions
 
First let me wish everyone a joyous holiday season.
Here are my three queations:
1. Do you still follow Santa's progress Christmas Eve on the NORAD webaite?
2. What is your favorite secular Christmas song?
3. What is your favorite non-secular Christmas carol?

For me it's"
1. Of course! I gotta know where Santa is and will be heading so I can get to bed in time for his visit.
2. "Hark the Herald angels Sing"
3. "The Christmas Song' aka 'Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire"
...And to all a good night

Here is a video that explains NORAD's part http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=oVuGdzdAAcI

1. No but don't tell Gracie there is no Santa. :smiley:
2. Silent Night.
3. It's not Chritmas until I hear Nat King Cole singing The Christmas Song.
Flip side was "The Little Boy That Santa Claus Forgot". Very sad song.

2B - I am SHOCKED! I never thought of you as a liar!
How can you say there is NO Santa Claus? Everyone knows there is. That is not a nice thing to say.

Gracie - don't pay ANY attention to that comment - 2B was only kidding !

Christmas Songs - The Pop Top 100

No, I do not follow Santa's route.

Religious song I like most is "We Three Kings". http://youtu.be/_39CvxinT7M

Non-religious song would be "Do you hear what I hear".--

The song has an interesting history as a call for peace during the Cuban missile crisis. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_You_Hear_What_I_Hear%3F

I follow Santa's progress as I have always done and I do NOT go to bed early because German folks discover presents on Christmas eve. We will go look at Christmas lights and when we return we will find gifts under the tree as always. Who but Santa could have brought them?

I also know that the elves have taken up residence behind the washer and dryer. They arrived on Thanksgiving as they always have done. They used to call Santa on the phone to tell of good and bad stuff but I suspect now they have little Ipads.

I love The Carol of the Bells and I love Do you hear what I hear and I just love all Christmas songs and I love the smell of Christmas cooking and ...

well.

I just believe.

Merry Christmas to all of you. Every single one of you. Happiness, Peace, good health and love.

Yes I was kidding.

Santa was in Miracle on 34th Street as proof.
