Santa, Christmas Eve and NORAD
Digest more
Santa Claus drove his reindeer-powered sleigh over rooftops around the world on Wednesday, delivering gifts to millions of children in a magic Christmas Eve ritual that North American air defense officials say they began tracking 70 years ago.
Oregon families hoping to catch a glimpse of Santa in action on Christmas Eve can watch him travel around the world with NORAD's Santa tracker.
As it has done for the past 70 years, NORAD, or the North American Aerospace Defense Command, is tracking the jolly elf. #TrackSanta #NORAD #Christmas #Where'sSanta
NORAD's radar detected Santa Claus departing the North Pole, shortly after he reviewed his flight plan with his nine reindeer.
The North American Aerospace Defense Command, also known as NORAD, has been tracking Santa since 1955 and is an excellent source for keeping up with him and his team of reindeer as they deliver toys and presents around the world.
