There may be a recession, but some things don’t change. NORAD will once again be tracking Santa on his trip around the world tomorrow, bringing vital information to aviators around the world of the (rumoured-to-be-transponder-free) reindeer-powered sledge’s position.
NORAD – the North American Aerospace Defence Command, a bi-national air defence command for the US and Canada – has been tracking Santa every Christmas Eve since 1958. Originally the tracking was reported over the phone, but now it’s available over the internet at <a href=’http://www.noradsanta.org’ target=’_blank’>www.noradsanta.org</a>.
If you’ve got Google Earth installed, you can view him on that, too.
Remember, if you see a red light (but no green light) increasing in size in your windscreen over the next couple of days – it’s likely to be Rudolph!
