If you don't have a pet (yet) to take a picture with Santa, have no fear: there will be plenty of adoptables on hand, looking to spend Christmas with a new family.
Since 1955, youngsters across the globe have tracked the path of Santa Claus on Christmas Eve with a little help from the North American Aerospace Defense Command.
Santa's helper was supposed to make a dashing entrance into this holiday party but you can see dashing is probably the wrong word to use. I guess even Santa's helpers can have a bad day too.
