**SANTA UPDATE** -- Official Breaking News from the North Pole
After more than 30 hours of solid Santa tracking I’m posting my final update of Operation Merry Christmas 2011. It has been another thrilling ride for Santa and another great year for all of us here at the North Pole. Santa just returned to the open arms of his family and friends at the North Pole where it is now Christmas morning for us. Hearts here are tired…but very merry!
Thank you for joining us yet again and don’t hesitate to stop by tomorrow when we reset the countdown and look forward to Operation Merry Christmas 2012. We appreciate you and wish you a Merry Christmas!

**SANTA UPDATE** -- Official Breaking News from the North Pole
Santa has left the North Pole Christmas Party where he has been for more than an hour — killing time so that folks on the coasts of the USA and Canada could get to bed. He told us before he left he planned to head to Southern California first and then head north.
Anyone else out there still awake? Santa says to get to bed!
