Journal On Lawn's Journal: The chances against Christmas being Christmas... 3
... are 365/1. Mecco's Star Wars Christmas, with narration by C3-P0.
Just an update. As you may or may not remember, I promised to not lie to my children about Santa Clause. He is someone who lived many years ago and is dead. Now we have a bunch of people pretending to be like him. What is wrong with that?
Last year I saw defeat. My child, despite my best efforts, told me I was wrong. Santa was real.
This year, though I continued to say once or twice the truth, got caught up in the geek factor. My children and I watched in anticipation as Santa was tracked around the world by NORAD. This year it was even better because I could track Santa on Google Earth.
What a great way to teach my child that this is a whole world, with time zones and such. Around the time Santa crossed the Atlantic we gave NORAD a call. No circuits available. As we read the bedtime story we left our cell phone in re-dial, and it never went through.
As it was just my wife and I staying up putting the Santa gifts out, I watched Santa pass over my city. I told my wife even though it wasn't true, there was still something fun about the anticipation. I remember it as a child, and its not really dead now that I know the truth. Odd, huh.
But I see the cracks in the foundation. As my child watched the Santa cam via NORAD, she said, "I want to see Santa land."
"Yeah," I said, "me too. It is pretty odd how he can deliver presents to so many houses while he is flying over these cities".

Unicorns don't like to play reindeer games (like football).
