Here Is How You Can Track Santa As He Deliver Presents
via noradsanta.org
Santa and his elves are preparing to take flight on Christmas eve to deliver toys to children across the country and the world.
The North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD, tracks Santa and his flight around the world every year. NORAD has been tracking Santa for 65 years, but the real story started back in 1955 with a misprint in a newspaper.
The tradition began in 1955 after a Colorado Springs-based Sears Roebuck & Co. advertisement misprinted the telephone number for children to call Santa. Instead of reaching Santa, the phone number put kids through to the CONAD Commander-in-Chief s operations hotline. The Director of Operations at the time, Colonel Harry Shoup, had his staff check the radar for indications of Santa making his way south from the North Pole. Children who called were given updates on his location, and a tradition was born.

33 ROME, NEW YORK New York Air National Guardsmen and Royal Canadian Air Force personnel at the Eastern Air Defense Sector in Rome, New York, will be hard at work Christmas Eve as the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) tracks Santa Claus for the 65th consecutive year. We re delighted to support NORAD s Santa tracking operations again this year, said Col. Paul M. Bishop, EADS Commander. I can assure everyone that EADS will do everything in its power to assist Santa with his critical mission.
Due to safety concerns created by COVID-19, a limited number of volunteers will be allowed in the NORAD Tracks Santa command post at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colorado. This means fewer phone operators to update Santa s travels. Callers who are unable to reach a live operator, however, will hear a constantly updated message on Santa s whereabouts.
