COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — NORAD’s Santa Tracker is up and running at noradsanta.org as Santa Clause makes his storybook Christmas Eve flight.
The volunteers will spend Wednesday answering phone calls and emails from children and posting updates on the mythical journey to Facebook, Twitter and http://www.NORADSanta.org.
The Santa Tracker started in 1955 when a newspaper offered a phone number where children could call and find out where in the world Santa was at that moment.
The phone number it listed was for the Continental Aerospace Defense Command, the predecessor to the North American Aerospace Defense Command. The officers on duty played along and began passing along reports on Santa’s progress.
These days technology helps children keep track of Ol’ St. Nick. Updates are posted at noradsanta.org, facebook.com/noradsanta and twitter.com/NoradSanta.
The Stanta Tracker website was launched in 1997 and peaked at 22.3 million in 2012.
