Christmas Eve Santa track Published Dec. 19, 2011 PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. (AFNS) -- The North American Aerospace Defense Command will be tracking Santa's yuletide journey this evening and through the early morning hours of Dec. 25. Visitors to the NORAD Tracks Santa website, http://www.noradsanta.org, can watch as "Santa Cams" stream videos as Santa makes his way over various locations worldwide. Trackers worldwide can also talk to a live phone operator to inquire about Santa's whereabouts by dialing the toll-free number 1-877-Hi-NORAD (1-877-446-6723) or by sending an email to noradtrackssanta@gmail.com. NORAD Tracks Santa started in 1955 when a local media advertisement directed kids to call Santa direct -- only the number was misprinted. Instead of reaching Santa, the phone rang through to the crew commander on duty at the Continental Air Defense Command Operations Center. Thus began the tradition that NORAD has carried on since it was created in 1958.
