Christmas Season Warmth and Flight Over the Pole
A festive note references Santa at the North Pole as a craft is planned to fly at 300 feet above his home while he prepares for a global sleigh ride. The piece quotes Dickens on Christmas time as a generous period when people open their hearts and regard others as fellow travelers to the grave.
