It's Christmas! Track Santa With The NORAD

Every year since 1955 the North American Aerospace Defense Command has tracked Santa's location on their website:

NORAD Santa

It's already December 25th in ASIA. As of 10am CST (our Christmas Eve), Santa and his reindeer crew is in Thailand.

To everyone, have a Merry Christmas.

That is so cute! Thank you. Now I wish I had little kids to show them. I'm a kid at heart, and I love it

The Adorable Origins of NORAD's Santa Tracker

NORAD has been tracking Santa and his sleigh for more than 60 years — all because of an incorrectly listed number.

It turns out, a local department store had placed an advertisement in the newspaper encouraging children to call Santa — but the number had a typo. Instead of dialing the store, dozens of children mistakenly called the Command Operations Center that night, according to NORAD.

It's so cool that NORAD took this up as a fun thing to do on Christmas.

Here's a 4 minute video, re-enacting that fateful phone call (no Oscars™ but cute as all get-out), plus a briefing by Lt. General Wilsbach on this year's mission.

I remember lying in bed listening to it on the radio and my mom saying "go to sleep cause he's on his way."

Of course I thought 8 tracks were cool. And Paul...don't ask what that is. Or I'll drive to your house and ruin Christmas for you ahhaha
