Michelle Obama took a handful of phone calls from kiddies wondering where Santa was on the Christmas Eve globe.  NORAD's Santa tracker confirms St. Nick stopped in Hawaii before heading for the North Pole.  Wash Post

After convincing a kid Santa was flying over Estonia, the First Lady was busted like the Wizard of Oz by the kid's father who asked her what she wanted for Christmas.

Michelle:  "Who, me?"  Dad:  "Yeah." 

Michelle: "I have what I wanted for Christmas: the President is here with us, and we're all together as a family. I think we were all praying and praying, and asking Santa, and the Tooth Fairy, and every fairy that they could think of -- that's what Malia and Sasha were doing -- that he would be able to be with us on Christmas." 

Every fairy except Pinocchio's Blue Fairy.
