In SFO too. Came off of UA846 from IAD and gate we arrived at was FULLY decked out in Christmas decor. Agents all wearing these awesome baseball Tees. Kids singing at gate 82, and I snapped a pic of the GID that displayed North Pole as the destination. Very cool indeed!

I was connecting through ORD this morning and noticed two gates (C21 and C22) had been converted into North Pole locations. I hope it's a great holiday season for everyone involved in these events.
