    FYI, Christmas is short for Christ's Mass, but Mass is about his death in April. So why do we even call it Christmas anyway? Huh???



    "Christmas" is combined from "Christ" and "Mass" but "Mass" is the name for the Eucharistic celebration; generally considered to be a commemoration of the Last Supper, the final meal that Jesus Christ shared with his disciples before his arrest and eventual crucifixion. The consecration of bread and a cup within the rite recalls the moment at the Last Supper when Jesus gave his disciples bread, saying, "This is my body", and wine, saying, "This is my blood". etc., etc.



    Catholic "Mass" is required to be celebrated on Christ's birthday (and Easter and every Sunday etc.), thus Christ+Mass = Christmas to set it apart from the others, just like Easter Sunday is so named.







    And the reason why you should have this App to track Santa, is so he doesn't claws your chest open.



    Santa is a Alien, he lays his eggs in your throat which feed off your body and grows into a snake that pops out of your chest when mature.



    Then it runs off into the corners, with a team of marines following trying to kill it.



    That's all you'll remember before your eyes glaze over, so be afraid, be very afraid. Feed it cookies and milk, perhaps it will go away and forget to lay his eggs.





    Good night, sweet dreams.

    Interesting...



    I'm going to install the app on my iTouch now! Have a nice day, whether you celebrate the Winter Solstice or Christmas.

    It's unbearable when watching the "news" and the "personality" reading the final "story" shows "Santa's route around the world and where he'll be tonight".



    There's enough superstitious cowdung in the world, without a consipiracy of "Santa pushers" warping the minds of children.



    Merry Christmas everyone (Yes I celebrate secular Christmas)



    PS. Don't get me started on "Happy Holidays", lol.

    How did the " Beautiful Boobs" App make it through Apple's pristine screening censorship board?



    Merry Christmas everybody!

    It all makes sense. Government existsnot to solve problem, but rather to create illusion of solution and imaginations. That is why it is called; "The American Dream".



    Screw NORAD!!!

    evil scrooge here, you are annoying, sad and full of bitter.



    -

    it's very nice for the USA to put a little fun in kiddies lifes. Of course one day you have to learn, no, santa doesn't exist, but it was a good time waiting for presents.



    I prefer that America than the other one you try to force upon the world : the bitter sad america.

    >Merry Christmas everyone (Yes I celebrate secular Christmas)

    I'm not religious or whatever (christ ? god ? no sir, I don't need to believe in godly christ to understand compassion ), and yeah I celebrate a family christmas of course (a quiet one, simple).



    >PS. Don't get me started on "Happy Holidays", lol.

    I'm not a merry person , but again : yes I have happy holidays all the time.



    Yes, you should also have happy holidays and every days. It's not a crime, not shameful, not bad, you still can be loved, noone will make a fool of you , you will not be more or less cool.



    -

    I understand, you see tv, ads, movies, or other and you think "happy is Law and Order" , but maybe you can take the reverse : it's just people trying to ask happy for others. okay, some may want to sell you stuffs, so what ? is it so bad ? can't you just ignore them and be happy with great friends ?



    it's not that bad you have to be an evil scrooge.

    Does Apple allow a full multi-color logo? And it seems to be displayed too low, too. Maybe it’s a jailbroken phone? I’d have expected a “normal” T-Mobile iPhone to just display plain text for T-Mobile—the way it is with AT&T. Like this: http://stealthbravo.com/wp-content/u...e_t-mobile.jpg

    Not true.



    Unlocked iPhones can run on T-Mobile USA's network although you have to use 2G for data services.



    T-Mobile USA's 3G service run on incompatible frequencies.

    NORAD never failed on tracking the path of Santa Claus for more than 55 years. Today it has become more exciting as google joined the search. The 2010 Santa System from North American Aerospace Defense Command has large plans. You will find only a few days left until the flight starts. Here is the proof: NORDA Santa Tracker 2010 partners with Google Maps There's plenty a lot more than basic radar tracking for the flight this year. Relationships with Google Maps and local school districts ensure the Santa Tracker stays up-to-date.
