First lady helps track Santa on Christmas Eve
(CNN) - First lady Michelle Obama got into the Christmas spirit Saturday by helping field phone calls from excited children eagerly tracking Santa and his sleigh full of toys across the world.
"I've spotted a little dot, flashing dot that is over - right now, Santa's sleigh is over the country of Latvia. And he's delivering toys there," Obama told three siblings. "It looks like he's got all nine reindeer with him. And it looks like that sleigh is pretty full - yep, that's what the experts here are saying."

I like the first lady because she shares my value which is: keep children closer and show them the love they need. It is very touchy because there is nothing sweeter than the child. We love them all and we do not regret at all of bringing them to earth. They are our angels.
it would be just great to put our left and right differences aside for at least one day and agree on ONE thing. A Merry Christmas to all and a better New Year to come.
May God Bless America and all it's People on this very special day. Merry Christmas from Austin.
I agree with ST and Lost in Texas on this.....But I can almost guarantee there is a faction of haters that will never allow decency as it relates to the first family. So in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, let the hate begin. I could be wrong, but we'll see
