Santa Sends Much of South America to Bed

Lisbon and Madrid are reporting a Merry Christmas now. We’re also getting spotter reports of Santa as far north as London but that has not been confirmed yet.

In a startling turn of events Santa has sent much of South America a bedtime warning, even though it is just a little bit early there in the evening — about 9pm or so in some parts. We don’t know if that means Santa will be heading there before he hits the USA and eastern Canada but we find it an interesting development.
