Have you ever wondered about vampires? Wondered about love? Twilight is the book to read. The author is Stephanie Meyer. It has action, a love story, and the best book you will ever lay your eyes on. Edward, the mysterious vampire, tries to resist the one he wants most, Bella. Bella falls in love with him but tries to lock her feelings up. Soon they fall for each other but Bella thinks something's up. Bella is a magnet for disaster and Edward saves her every time. Once she was almost crushed by a car that hydroplaned, but Edward stop the car by putting his hand out. The thing is Edward was across the parking lot. Soon she figures it out. With Jacobs, Bella's friend a long time ago, scary stories about vampires. I don't want to give away to much detail so if you want to know more, which I know you do, read the book. Did I also mention it was a major movie that made trillions of dollars in the first weekend? The movie is awesome. I love this book and can't wait to read the rest of the series. The next book is New Moon.

I think tracking Santa is an excellent way for children to know where Santa is.  They will know whether Santa is near or has a while to go.  Google Earth has a really good idea of creating this for little kids who have their hearts filled with joy.  Every girl and boy stays awake waiting for that jolly, old man in the red coat to come down the chimney.  Even high schoolers and adults look forward to Christmas.  Small children in their pajamas ask their parents, "Where's Santa?  When is he coming"?  Now thanks to Google Earth, little kids can find out for themselves at Norad Tracks Santa. It includes a video that gives you an update of Santa's location by the hour.  They can even see the amount of time left until Christmas.  The website shows you videos, pictures, and even 3D images.  If you go to this website, kids can play games.  Everything is free so no cost is necessary.  The Norad Santa website says

" In addition, we now track Santa using the internet. Last year, millions of people who wanted to know Santa's whereabouts visited the NORAD Tracks Santa website."

I even go there and will on Christmas Eve. I am even going to play the games and track Santa.
