Would have been much more effective if it were an actual Hubble image of the moon with a photo-shopped insertion of a realistic santa sled with rein-deer and big red bag and all but so small in the image that little children all around the world would be scurrying about in there home looking for a magnifying glass to look up close at the image all the while their parents encouraging them with "yes it is, he's just so far away that you can barely make him out," but realistic enough so that if they did, they would actually see it!"

Bet you could have even contacted Scott Pelly at CBS to report nation-wide, the amazing image, reporting "if you look really close, you can just barely make him out." There's still time to make the evening news tonight. Someone good at this, quick, make the image and send it to CBS and see what happens.

I had baked stuffed lobster for breakfast, so I did OK, MIH. Having leftover roasted chicken, mashed potatoes and squash covered with chicken gravy right now. I guess I came out of this well. Christmas was just me and my wife and the dogs - pretty quiet.

I hope your holiday was nice, too.
