That site is always fun for getting the little ones asleep on Christmas. Like you said though, the graphics are cheesy, I wish they would spend a little more time on them...they do have all year for them after all.
I showed it to my girlfriend and shegot a kick out of it.
I showed it to her 7 year old brother and he gave my that sideways "is this for real? Your s...ing me right?" look. Made me laugh so hard. Kind of interesting how Norad started doing this though.
It says their phone number was put on a Sears? ad that was advertising "call this number to talk to santa" And they decided to play along after several kids called them.
