I just love it when technology can create something that can bring some fun to kids….and adults….and assist to keep alive the belief in Santa! Its Christmas Eve, and Santa is getting ready…..so did you know you can get an app, or use a computer, to track Santa on his journey around the world on […]

I want to still believe there is a Santa…I want to hold onto that wonderful childish belief that a man with a white beard, is able to travel the world , in one night, and deliver presents to those who have been good.
