On to more important things – like when is Santa coming?!
NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) uses the North Warning System to track the location of Santa on Christmas Eve so as to keep anxious kiddos, like myself, up to date on when he’ll be dropping by.
This is a 51 year-old tradition that came about accidentally after a store advertised Santa’s Hotline number as the Continental Air Defense Command (predecessor of NORAD). Ever since, NORAD staff has, and will personally respond to phone calls from sleepless children on Christmas Eve! (For the complete story visit Calgary Country’s website.)
I’ll be keeping a close eye on Santa via www.noradsanta.org and I’m sure to call the hotline at 1-877-Hi-NORAD if the Internet connection goes down!
Emma.
