 NORAD Tracks Santa! |
 |
Using a combination of satellites, radar, jet fighters, and Santa cams, NORAD continues a 50+ year tradition of tracking Santa's yearly incursion into US-Canadian air space.

And yes, this is for real. It all started with a mis-printed phone number in a Sears-Roebuck advertisement in Colorado back in 1955. You can read the story here...

Yeah, they say that it started by accident all those years ago when someone accidentally dialed a wrong number and got NORAD instead of a Santa 'hotline.' The NORAD folks just played along for the kids and the tradition was born!
