It’s ten days until Christmas and the world is preparing for Santa Claus to come to town. One way that children worldwide await the arrival of the ol’ jolly one himself is through the NORAD tracker. Equipped with interactive games for children and updates on Santa’s whereabouts and current activities, the NORAD Santa tracker launches each year to let children know when Saint Nick departs the comforts of his North Pole abode.
The NORAD Tracks Santa program is a division of the United States and Canadian North American Aerospace Defense Command organization. The Santa Claus tracker began in 1955 and started with the Continental Air Defense Command (CONAD), NORAD’s predecessor. The official NORAD website (found here http://www.noradsanta.org/en/faq.html) offers a number of answers to many questions regarding Santa’s activities throughout the year, the path he takes and addresses how the NORAD project came into existence.
The NORAD project is run by volunteers and has brought delight to children worldwide for more than fifty years. NORAD has joined with Google Earth to enable children the ability to track Santa’s activities on Christmas Eve with the free program.
