the airforce has spotted santa over d.c.

I never really believed in Santa Claus as a kid. At least, my parents never taught me about him. But I do remember a time when I thought he might be real. The one time during the season I was made to believe in Santa. Tonight I will be going to my aunt's house for Christmas Eve. The reason for this...it's tradition. My family has been spending Christmas Eve at Auntie's for years. When I was younger, Auntie lived at Hanscom Air Force Base in Bedford, MA. Thus, that's where we would go every Christmas Eve. And that was where I would believe in Santa. We would be having a fun time opening presents from Auntie and playing with our new toys when a message would come over the radio at the AFB. The message was essentially, if not precisely, the following: "Santa has just been spotted on radar over Washington D.C." He was already at Washington D.C. We need to go home and get to bed now! If he's heading toward the Northeast U.S., he'll be in Boston in no time. That was our queue to leave and go to bed. And that's what we did. Have a safe, fun Christmas Eve everyone. And let me know if you spot Santa over D.C. so I can get to bed!
