Santa’s On His Way. Track Him Here

Posted by | December 24, 2014 17:00 | Filed under: Top Stories


Norad, the North American Aerospace Command, tracks Santa every year. Follow him so you know when he’ll be at your house, ether with beautiful gifts, or with coal for your stocking. And have a very Merry Christmas from your friends at Liberaland.

The tradition began in 1955 after a Colorado Springs-based Sears Roebuck & Co. advertisement misprinted the telephone number for children to call Santa. Instead of reaching Santa, the phone number put kids through to the CONAD Commander-in-Chief’s operations “hotline.” The Director of Operations at the time, Colonel Harry Shoup, had his staff check the radar for indications of Santa making his way south from the North Pole. Children who called were given updates on his location, and a tradition was born.

In 1958, the governments of Canada and the United States created a bi-national air defense command for North America called the North American Aerospace Defense Command, also known as NORAD, which then took on the tradition of tracking Santa.

      Back when I was a Rookie I arrested a .18 OUI who was returning from a New Years eve party. He was dressed as a clown. When I put him in the back seat I said “have a seat clown”. When we arrived at booking the corrections officer said “I’m going to take these cuffs off, don’t do anything funny”. We both realized that we had waited our entire careers to say that.
