Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
I always heard about the NORAD Santa tracker, it was a thing since I was a kid. But since it was always there, I never looked into its history. Now I’ve learned that its history is kind of cute.
I guess a newspaper mistakenly printed a top secret military hotline as a talk to Santa line. So this colonel kept getting calls from 5-year-olds. And the NORAD Santa tracker was born.
Doesn’t that make you feel all warm and fuzzy?
