And a little hint. Once you’re there, click on a present to see where Santa delivered.

This will be fun to leave on full screen all night to get the kids excited.

I see no Constitutional provision that allows the government to divert military resources (NORAD) to looking for a mythical man flying around in a sleigh.

NORAD is there to warn us of nuclear missile attacks. What if we are attacked when we are tracking Santa instead of ICBMs?

Hey… we are in the 6th (or is it 7 now?) year of a war costing billions of dollars all based on a mythical weapons program. So really, this is nothing.

I once worked at the Cheyenne Mountain /NORAD complex in Colorado Springs. I do believe they are better at tracking this imaginary elf than any thing else they are tasked with doing.

Sleep well tonight, the Air Force will protect you.

But you cannot observe Santa by any means since he is a macroscopic quantum object and any direct observation will change his state. I demand that NORAD turn off its radar NOW!

You never know what Santa might be up to.

And the dark magic spell is cast upon the youth of the world for another year. It’s healthy to lie to your kids, it helps build trust.

Where the hell was NORAD on 9/11 ???

It’s in worthless flash.

According to 9 News (KUSA Denver) morning anchor Gary Shapiro, this started in the 1950s because of a misprint on an ad for a Santa hotline. The number rang at NORAD and the airman who answered played along. It became a tradition.

Now I’d bet there’s a whole “Santa Tracking” committee.

Lame. Use my tax dollars for something useful, like building ICBM’s

Folks – not much money wasted here on this lately…

Tried to get an alternative to this NORAD site for my kids this year. The videos are so dated now it’s embarrassing.
