NORAD Tracks Santa


The NORAD Tracks Santa program began in 1955 when an errant phone call was made to CONAD, NORAD's predecessor. The call was from a local child who dialed a misprinted telephone number in a local newspaper advertisement. Although the wrong number, the commander who answered the phone that night gave the youngster the information he requested... thus the tradition of NORAD tracking Santa began.

The Web site features the history of the program, information on how NORAD tracks Santa and interactive games. All of this information is available in English, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish.
