NORAD carried out its first Santa tracking in 1958 after inheriting the tradition from CONAD.
Since that time, Canadian and American men and women who work at NORAD have responded to phone calls from children personally.
Additionally, media from all over the world call NORAD on Christmas Eve for updates on Santa's location.
Last year this Website was visited by millions of people who wanted to know Santa's whereabouts. This year, the information is provided in six languages.
The tradition began after a Colorado Springs-based Sears Roebuck & Co. store advertisement for children to call Santa on a special "hotline" included an inadvertently misprinted telephone number.
