SUMMARY:Track Santa  December 24
DESCRIPTION:Track Santa December 24\nDecember 24 \nEvery day of the year\, NORAD defends North America using an all-domain and globally integrated approach to track everything that flies in and around Canada and the United States. On Dec. 24\, NORAD adds a special mission: tracking Santa. \nLike many origin stories\, NORAD’s mission to track Santa began by accident. In 1955 a young child\, trying to reach Santa\, dialed the misprinted phone number from a department store ad in the local newspaper. Instead of calling Santa\, the child called the Continental Air Defense Command (CONAD) Operations Center in Colorado Springs\, Colo. \nAir Force Col. Harry Shoup\, the commander on duty that night who answered the child’s phone call\, was quick to realize a mistake had been made and assured the child he was Santa. After more incoming calls\, Shoup assigned a duty officer to continue answering calls and a tradition was born\, that continued when NORAD was formed in 1958. \nEach year since\, NORAD has dutifully reported Santa’s location on Dec. 24 to millions of children and families across the world. Because of the support\, services and resources generously provided by volunteers and our government and corporate contributors\, NORAD Tracks Santa has persevered for more than 65 years. \nIn fact\, what started because of a typo has flourished and is recognized as one of the Department of Defense’s largest community outreach programs. \nEach year\, the NORAD Tracks Santa Web Site receives several million unique visitors from more than 200 countries and territories around the world. Volunteers typically answer more than 130\,000 calls to the NORAD Tracks Santa hotline from children across the globe. \nIn addition to the phone line and website\, children and the young-at-heart can track Santa through our mobile apps and our social media platforms: \nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/noradsanta \nYouTube: http://www.youtube.com/NORADTracksSanta \nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/noradtrackssanta_official \nNORAD Tracks Santa Website: https://www.noradsanta.org  \nNORAD Tracks Santa Newsroom: https://noradsantanews.com/newsroom \nSeveral contributors such as OnStar and Amazon Alexa also provide convenient ways to keep tabs of Santa’s location. \nTrack Santa (and see the world)! https://www.noradsanta.org/
