Santa is omnipresent also. Every Xmas I see him everywhere I go. It is really weird how he can be everywhere at once.

When I was a kid (probably 5 or so) my brother (he's 12 years older than me) told me that he saw Santa's sleigh going by. We went out on the balcony of our apartment and while I was looking the opposite direction he said, "Look! There it is!" As I turned toward where he was pointing, I clearly remember seeing a sleigh hit the corner of the apartment building... Young minds are impressionable... I can still vividly recall that memory in detail. We see what we want to see.
P.S. Is there a Santa? I've seen my kids' faces on Christmas morning... there most definitely is a Santa.

Well of course Santa is in Lappland, After all the shrinkage of the arctic sea ice?? Where else would he be?
