NORAD's Santa Tracker
NORAD has been tracking Santa since 1955. It started when a girl dialed a misprinted phone number from a department store advertisement in the local newspaper, believing she was calling Santa. The number rang into the Air Defense Command Operation Center, where an officer was quick to realize the goof up but assured her he was Santa.
NORAD reports Santa's location to millions across the globe, with noradsanta.org this year live-tracking his present-filled red sleigh pulled by nine reindeer. Around 9 million people from over 200 countries tune in to watch Santa circumnavigate the world with the help of this site. On www.noradsanta.org there's an option to listen to Santa's favourite songs, watch his movies, read and learn about his holiday traditions and also play new games everyday.
