In 1955 a store in Colerado made a litle mistake. On a poster they encouraged kids to call Santa to ask him questions but they had printed the wrong number. When kids called, the phone to Director of Operations at the Continental Air Defense (CONAD) rang. Colonel Harry Shoup received the first phonecalls and didn’t want to break the kids’ heart and continued to answer. Every kid who asked got Santa’s current position.

Three years later, the governments of the United States and Canada combined their national domestic air defenses into the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), but the tradition continued. Now major media outlets as well as children call in to inquire on Santa’s location.

In 2004, NORAD received more than 35,000 e-mails, 55,000 calls and 912 million hits on the Santa-tracking website from 181 countries.

Her is the Norad tracker :

I 1955 blemmet en butikk i Colerado seg litt. I en annonse i butikken oppmuntret de barn til å ringe Nissen men de hadde skrevet feilt nummer. Når barn ringte så havnet i dypt inne i Continental Air Defence (CONAD). Oberst Harry Shoup mottok de første telefonene og fant raskt ut av hva som hadde skjedd. Likevel fortsatte han å svare, alle barn som ringte fikk vite nåværende posisjon til Nissen.

Tre år senere ble flyforsvaret til USA og Canada slått sammen til NORAD (North American Aerospace Defence Command), men tradisjonen fortsatte. Nå brukes tjenesten både av media og barn, hvor de får Nissens posisjon.

I 2004 mottok NORAD over 35000 e-mail, 55000 telefonoppringninger og 912 millioner treff på websiden deres.
