Santa stopped by Washington on Wednesday to help launch Microsoft's "A Salute to Our Troops" program. St. Nick had a sack full of goodies and was accompanied by the world famous Radio City Rockettes (beats the heck out of elves) who will put on a free show for 8,200 troops and their families Dec. 20. Pictured: Microsoft Vice President Curt Kolcun, Santa and the Rockettes. For more on Microsoft's initiative click here.
