No mention of Mrs. Claus - maybe Santa will have to sponsor her?

Merry Christmas to everyone here, especially those who are still waiting to be with their loved one, and for those (like me) who will be spending their first Christmas together.

Well if Santa is Canadian, maybe just maybe he can help all of those waiting on sponsorship for longer than average times, and all of those just waiting, will get their ultimate wish of their PR for Christmas!!! GL to all, and Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays....Everyone have a safe holiday season!!

Good thing he's Canadian. They prob wouldn't let him in! I'm also glad he has his own sleigh...this avoids awkward pat downs by the American TSA!

I so agree...its making me good and fat...too bad these people that make the laws and make us wait, don't have to go through it themselves, might make them rethink the process and make this more of a priority to get families together!!!
