Breaking News: Illegal immigrant, Santa Claus has been detained at the border crossing in Laredo, TX. Sleigh filled with contraband was confiscated via civil forfeiture. Elves were also detained and sent to separate facility. Law enforcement officials, fearful for their lives, shot all reindeer. Being Texas, of course the meat was immediately cured and stored in a nearby Prepper underground shelter.

Christmas may be delayed by a few weeks (or months) until the matter is sorted.
Especially the government agents are currently working without pay.
I can't resist the dark humor...

Seems like yet an example of a situation where they’re taking advantage of elderly men not knowing that (or how...) they can opt out of all the tracking...

It seems nobody is safe from Google’s pervasive tracking. I wonder what kinds of ads they serve up to Santa and Mrs C.

Darn they caught me!!!!

KIDS LOOK AWAY!!!! This 'Santa' they speak of is the pseudonym I use so that Google doesn't track my eeeeerm... more private activities. I have a pretty warped mind so it's probably best for adults to stay clear too...
 



For MacRumors readers who continue to believe in Santa Claus or for those who have young children, Google today launched its annual Santa tracking feature, allowing Santa to be tracked in real time on his journey from the North Pole as he prepares to deliver presents around the world.

Google has offered its fun Santa tracking feature for fifteen years now, providing a little digital magic for children across the globe.

You can track Santa using a web browser on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac by visiting Google's official Santa tracking website. The site is designed to show a live map of Santa's current location, his next stop, a live video feed of his journey, and the estimated time that he will arrive in your location.

The website provides pictures of locations Santa has already visited, a live count of gifts that have been delivered, and his current distance from your location. There are also a selection of games to play and videos to watch on the site.

There are also other Santa tracking services, such as the NORAD Tracks Santa Claus app and website, but Google's is the most detailed and the best option to check out if you want to enjoy a bit of holiday fun.

At the time this article was posted, Santa was spotted in Nigata, Japan, after having just visited Tokyo.

Many reports have come in stating that Santa is giving kids bent toys and gifts. These poor, little children have appealed to Santa with their complaints about the bent items, and Santa boldly retorted, “I designed them that way. That’s how they’re supposed to look!” While he refuses to even hint at a mass recall (because when has Santa ever been known to do that) he is accepting returns on any items, so long as they are returned within a reasonable amount of time. A few kids have conceded because they believe everything Santa says. I mean, he would never lie.......right? And we should never question him, because everything he does, well, “it just works”
 
The only way Santa can pay for all the presents and tech he needs is to sell the data he has on you! Beware Santa privacy ‘Claus’ is watertight and you’re never unsubscribing from that one.

On a side note, Christmas is a secular holiday and the birth of another fictional mythical and down right rubbish magical man has nothing to do with the day. Unfortunately we’re stuck with them renaming it in the hopes of taking over OUR YULE. Nope sorry Pagan or Roman or Scandinavian roots in saturnalia and the winter solstice are the most relevant.

Very good! This Santa was an imposter. The rest of the world celebrates Christmas on Jan 7th, as it should be. In addition to that, Christmas is a Christian celebration and holiday. The real Santa comes out on the Ndw Year night to deliver the presents. Hail our glorious border potrol for spotting out this vilan;)
