updateSanta has arrived safely at the North Pole. He glided in to a soft stop with his family and all the elves and their families cheering his return at the North Pole. As I type this the whole group has moved to the North Pole Christmas Party where folks are celebrating the successful conclusion of Operation Merry Christmas 2012.

Thank you once again for participating with us. It has certainly been an eventful year! We wish all of you a very Merry Christmas, wherever you are and the finest of wishes for a wonderful new year in 2013. We’ll see you next year!
