Confession time! We started the Verge Mobile Podcast just so we could finally, eventually have the chance to have the Santa / NORAD discussion the way we'd always longed to. This week, we realized our podcastual dreams. So ¡Feliz Navidad! to all, hope you enjoyed the show while it lasted, and to all a good night!

P.S. As they say in the chat rooms, Just Kidding! But we will be taking next week off to sufficiently ponder the two billion presents in one night question. See you in two weeks with some answers to the defining questions of the 2011 holiday season.
