NORAD tracking Santa.

It just occurred to me.  How long before the leftists/atheists try and stop this?  I mean, after all tax dollars are spent on this and it directly correlates to Christmas.

I'm an atheist and I would never try to stop something like it as I love seeing the faces of kids when they "track" Santa on his mission.  And I doubt even the stupid and over the top atheists would do much since Jesus is not involved in this. I think most people against the Christian aspect of Christmas would want to use things like this instead. But then again, what do I know? (I know what the answer will be :) )

I love the service they provide and while some may not agree, I think it is a worthy use of tax money even if it is only once a year.

I think it is a sweet thing, and shows how technology can encourage a young one's imagination.
