Did you know?

Fun fact: every year the North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD) published the tracking of Santa Claus on Christmas Eve.

This started because an American department store gave kids a phone number to call Santa and ask him about their presents. But one of the numbers was misprinted, so the number was actually for NORAD!

Colonel Harry Shoup answered the call, thinking it was a practical joke, but realised quickly that the young girl calling wanted to speak to Santa. This inspired him and his team to start publishing Santa's location on Christmas Eve so kids would know exactly where Santa was and how long till he would arrive down their chimneys!

Pretty cool, huh?
