NORAD tracks Santa 2008
The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) is a joint U.S.-Canada military organization based at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado. NORAD systems scan the skies for Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBM) flying over the poles.

Santa’s annual trip is a logistical nightmare for the folks at NORAD. His sleigh has no transponder. The only light is Rudoph’s nose. NORAD has responded with a special-purpose, one-night-a-year Santa Tracker. Santa-Cam images will be available at the site linked above on Christmas Eve.
It’s great fun. Do be sure to check it out!
Thanks to Max for the excellent artist’s representation. He also did the one for the post on last year.
