I'd Rather Keep Track of Santa Than See What Idiocy Trump is Embarking On

Each year Santa and his reindeer make a 41 million-mile trek around the entire globe and thanks to a high-tech website kids from 3 to 103 can watch a website and see when he is expected in a given area. Since 1958, we can thank a man named Colonel Harry Shoup for creating magical technology. This was after a little girl in 1955 accidentally dialed the unlisted number of the Continental Air Defense Command, or CONAD, in Colorado Springs, Colorado. She thought she was calling Santa after a promotion she had seen in a local newspaper. You can go to: or call toll-free 1-877-Hi-NORAD or ask an Amazon Alexa to watch his travels. The picture is from my collection.

Ah, so that's how that got started ! How fun to watch where Santa and his team spread joy all over the world. Certain leaders could learn from that .

I didn't know about keeping track of Santa. That's pretty cool.
