Santa in Iraq

Hello folks, sorry for the long absence. My resolution for the New Year is to return to writing my blog with a vengeance. In the meantime, here's a little story for you:

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Santa strapped on his body armor and sidearm Monday and
got an early start on his rounds, taking candy canes and holiday wishes to U.S.
troops in Iraq.

Anyway, have a Merry Christmas everybody!
