Here are three of my favorite Christmas videos. Well, the first is here because I enjoy the Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular so much. The second, is one of the best flashmobs I have seen on video and it fits right into the Christmas spirit. Finally, a video I posted back in April, but deserves to be posted again; one of the best Christmas surprises ever arranged by an airline.

The most frequent flier of all and, perhaps the most famous, is Santa. He has logged more miles that any mortal frequent flier as he zips across the planet and never faces delays caused by snowstorms (in fact he relished them) or bad customer service (who would give Santa a hard time). His world of flying is, shall we say different.

This first flash dance took place in Lisbon at their international airport last Christmas season. It was conceived by TAP and the Portuguese Airport Authority. It sure brings a smile to me.

Santa still inhibits a world that has bypassed most of us. A world without checked luggage charges, surly flight attendants, constant fare changes, overzealous baggage restrictions, invasive searches, or that guy that reclines his seatback into your lap. But it seems justified that the guy who ensures a happy Christmas morn for hundreds of thousands of children should get the benefit of private transport, no Customs hassles, and the availability of hundreds of elves to help load all that extra carry-on.

Washington, DC, is one of America’s best places to spend time during the Christmas holidays. The city gives itself over to Christmas and the displays are among the most lavish in the country. Better yet, many of the festivities are free. Even many of the concerts at the Kennedy Center are free.

If you live in the Midwest, I don’t need to tell you that you’re having a white Christmas. A very white Christmas.

Synchronized Christmas lights are becoming a big deal for some folk. Some do this year after year, getting more and more complex as the years go by. Here’s our collection of Christmas lights set to music from around the country. (The music broadcasts via FM radio so it doesn’t disturb the neighbors.) Not all of them are from this year, but they are all spectacular.

You and your little ones can follow his progress as he enters our region by dialing (609) 485-6000. Special evening reports will be updated at 6:30, 7:30, and then finally at 8:30 p.m. (EST) courtesy of the FAA.
The NORAD site is fabulous. Just before this posted, there were videos of Santa cruising across Syndey then Darwin Australia on his way across the globe.
With many enjoyable holiday projects being nixed this year because of budget constraints and privacy concerns, it is nice to hear of some programs that are going strong. One is the North American Aerospace Defense Command’s (NORAD) annual Santa tracking public service. This year, Santa’s tracking will be taking advantage of Twitter, Facebook and other social media.
