A Christmas tradition that's nearly 70 years old has once again opened its phone lines and website.
Major Jennie Derenzis with the Royal Canadian Air Force says NORAD's Santa Tracker all started with a child calling a wrong number.
"The Airforce Colonel who answered that call realized the confusion but was capable of answering the question due to what they were doing, their mission, thinking 'Hey, I have the capacity to answer this' so he had his staff confirm where Santa was, and it began the magical santa NORAD connection all these years"
Since then, you can call 1877 HI NORAD every Christmas Eve to find Santa's real-time location.
You can also go to noradsanta.org to find the real-time tracker, as well as a history of the program, online activities, and details of the Christmas celebrations around the world
NORAD's radar and satellite arrays help them track the big man in red and secure air and sea borders 365 days a year.
