NORAD Tracks Santa

I still believe in santa clause (most kids in my grade don't) so every year, i leave this screen up on my computer:

http://www.noradsanta.org/en/index.html

of course the racking page would be:

http://www.noradsanta.org/en/video.html

It's pretty awesome. I have been doing it since I was 8, and if you doit on google earth, you can do it in 3-d. I downloaded it just for this. Has anyone else ever tracked santa with NORAD?

~

I use it every year!

~Linky

I don't bealive in Santa, well, you and know that!

*Edit*
But I want to check out the website anyway. You know, I have heard of it every year but never did it. I loved for it to be a mystery.

Yeah, that's when "Santa" takes off. I thouhgt that letter on the website was so adorible! When I went throuhg the website I had seconds thouhgts of bealiving in Santa again, but I decided the Easter Bunny, lepercons, Tooth Fairy, and Cupid don't exsist so how on earth does "Santa Clause" exsist.

I'm kind of interested in tring it. You know? IDK.

Well I believe still LOL

That's good. Keep that child within! Lol, NORAD is awsome!

I always wondered if NORAD is just some bald dude in a tree making up fake areas

I used to do something like this, only it was a radio show where they would play christmas songs and inbetween they would say where santa was.

I think that was Norad was before computers really became that common.

Ya it's pretty old

Well hello everyone! My name is and i am going to teach you the history of Norad tracks santa!

Well... first things first. Who and What is Norad? (No , Norad is not a bald dude in a tree.) Norad is the Bi-country US and Canadian military system. They are mostly with air force though.

Now, let's get into why they track santa. Well, in 1955, Sears department store made an advertisement for kids to call santa.



Well of course, Sears goofed up and listed the number for CONAD, the commander in chief's operations hotline. The Director of Operations at the time, Colonel Harry Shoup, had his staff check the radar for indications of Santa making his way south from the North Pole. Children who called were given updates on his location, and a tradition was born. In 1958, NORAD was founded by the USA and Canada. And so, NORAD took on the tradition of tracking Santa.

And so now, we have computers, so we no longer need to call to find out, for we just go online and find out where Ol' Saint Nick is.

The first Santa Tracker, Colonel Harry Shoup:



I hope I further educated you on NORAD tracks Santa.

"Santa" tracking must be hard. I mean how is that possible. JUst a side note, but me and my friends were talking and I was like "How is it possible for a guys that's been around since Jesus, that weighs a million pounds go around the world in like 5 hours?" And we also were like magic doesn't exsist so after a while we were like if he does exsist we thought he would be a ghost. So ya, just some extra stuff for ya! Back on the topic. NORAD looks sort of awsome! I could use something to cheer up my holidays. This Christmas is not going to a hoot, we only have like 5 people coming and they are all adults. So yup! NORAD is defently something I'll try for Christmas maybe it will help me bealive again, who knows?

I think hes real but still it must be hard tracking him!
BTW a site said that he was 250 pounds XD

Stay on topic, .

NORAD is the first website that makes Santa seem so real!

How was that off-topic?

Where did you get that information that he's not real anyway? If it's that Rachel girl that lives by you, she's lying. In the 2nd grade, she told me she "broke her knee." She took advantage of me by making me get her ketchup and sharpening her pencil. Later, I learned that it sin't possible to brake your knee. she could of hurt her joint, or broke the knee cap. if she had done either, she would of been on crutches!

Anyway, Back on topic. I think he is real because I got a wii last year, and my parents would never of bought me all that stuff. It's expensive.

It was my friend Ashley, and she bealives in Santa. Just because I don't bealive in Santa doesn't make me any diffrent, same Julia! xD

Oh and I found out that there's no Santa, no one told me (LOL). Last year my parents were like " Does it fit, because I wans't sure if it did... I mean SANTA wanst sure". And Rachle's parents told her there was no Santa so it's not like she just is trying to be cool. Oh well! Again, don't bealive what I bealive!

Back on topic! I forgot to use it. My break has just been really busy! Who got to do it?

~3oh3

Me!
Well he did it all in one night so it should be lock'd

Okay! She's right. I'll lock this.
