My kids and I would follow this every year.

Great memories!! Thx.

Every Christmas Eve, about 10 minutes after I put my kids to bed, I would go outside their bedroom windows and shake sleigh bells.

Years later, my son told me when he started school, all his Jewish friends kept telling him that there was no Santa but those bells kept him believing there was!

Santa is a wonderful invention to please every child.

The magic of Christmas. I distinctly remember as a child, looking out my bedroom window on Christmas Eve and seeing a red light crossing the sky. I knew it had to be Rudolph.

This “Santa Tracking” put the scares into us back in 1962. We had just come off the threat of the Cuban Missile Crisis in October in which we did not know if the US would last till Christmas due to Nuclear War!

Then it all blew over but we were still on edge.

On Dec 24, TV programing was broken into with the warning that NORAD had detected something incoming over the DEW line!

Was it Russian Missiles? Was this the end of the USA? All the stresses of October returned!
Then they showed a chintzy illustration of Santa and sleigh with cotton ball clouds floating by.

We didn’t know whether to be relieved that was all it was or upset for the return of stresses from that October.

That is one year they could have forgotten about Santa.
