It is. I’m sure it’s changed since it’s gone all Google/AI. I volunteered before all that. It was basically a PowerPoint presentation that was projected onto screens in a large conference room.
It’s a bit sweet seeing people in military uniforms talking to kids about Santa and where he is. Some of the people would chat with the kids, asking them what they wanted for Christmas.
It’s especially fun when other government agencies get in on it. I believe during one of Obama’s years, he held a press conference and he was asked about something to do with drones and how Santa would be protected or something like that. And he talked about how F-18s would rendezvous with Santa at the Canada-US border and escort him safely.
I’m too lazy to look it up but it got a lot of chuckles. Even the FAA got involved and issued press releases about how Santa was cleared to use the military air corridors to ensure speedy delivery.
Jokes aside, that sounds like tons of fun.
