Santa Claus is already on his journey around the globe, delivering presents to good boys and girls.
Once again, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) is tracking Santa’s journey, which is in its 65th year.
Officials at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, say Santa began making his preparations to take off from the North Pole at around 3 a.m. CST this morning, even though it will be many hours before he reaches Alabama tonight.
You can track Santa on the web, on free apps or by calling (877) 466-6723, where you can talk to a telephone operator or get a recorded message. Because of COVID-19, there are fewer operators this year, although the pandemic isn’t slowing down Santa as he makes his annual trip!

General Glen Vanherck, commander of North American Aerospace Defense Command, gives an update on Santa Claus journey on Fox & Friends.
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. And NORAD has its eyes on him for the 65th straight year.
Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the NORAD Santa tracker is up and running, as it has been since 1955 when it became an annual tradition.
The tradition began by accident when Air Force Col. Harry Shoup – the commander on duty at NORAD’s predecessor, the Continental Air Defense Command (CONAD) – answered a call from a child who rang a telephone number misprinted in a newspaper department store ad trying to get in touch with Santa.
