Christmas Eve Is Here, Time For NORAD to Track Santa Claus
Put them together, and you have two fun ways for the kids to track Santa all day while mom and dad pound egg nog and await the tumult of Christmas morning.

For years there was only one way on which you could track where Santa is, and that was with the Norad Tracks Santa service, which has been around for 60 years now.
Starting on Christmas Eve at 2:00 am (EST), you can keep track of Santa’s journey.
Volunteers will be answering calls from an estimated 125,000 children around the world who want to know about Santa’s exact whereabouts.
First lady Michelle Obama is expected to answer some of those calls this year.
All Santa tracking happens out of the Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado.
NORAD wrote on their official Facebook page earlier this month: “Thank you for letting us be part of the magic Santa!”
Last year, NORAD Tracks Santa got 1.6 million Facebook likes.
In 1955, a Colorado Springs-based Sears, Roebuck & Co. advertisement misprinted the telephone number for children to call Santa. And it is more than just logging onto the NORAD website or calling in to find out where Santa is.
While Santa may have become more high-tech over the years, it is still magical watching him deliver his packages all over the world.
Kids in MI can join others around the world today in following Santa’s journey to deliver toys to good boys and girls.
The children instead reached another hotline instead: the operations hotline of Col. Harry Shoup, the crew commander on duty at what was then known as the Continental Air Defense Command Operations Center, an organization that helped guard North America against potential air attack.
From 1973 into the 1990s, the Civil Air Patrol operated its own Santa tracking system before joining the NORAD effort, according to Ubaldi.
Volunteers are also available to handle the foreign-language inquiries.
