US President Biden and his wife 'track' Santa Claus

NORAD has been providing Santa tracking services for 68 years.

The interactive 3D website www.NORADsanta.org shows Santa's location on his sleigh on his imaginary journey to deliver Christmas presents around the world . Users can click on the sleigh's location and learn more about the cities along the way, AFP reported on December 25.

NORAD's Santa tracking website dates back to 1955, when a Colorado newspaper printed an ad connecting children with Santa Claus, but mistakenly provided the NORAD hotline.

To avoid disappointing the children, then-NORAD Operations Director Colonel Harry Shoup directed his subordinates to check radar to look for Santa and update children on the location of the sleigh on its way to deliver presents.

This year, US President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden will also participate in the traditional event on Christmas Day 2023.

"This evening (December 24), the President and First Lady participated in a NORAD Santa tracking call with children and families across the United States," the White House said.

Santa Claus travels at "starlight speed", likes to wave to American pilots!

Earlier on December 24, Santa's tracking tool was briefly down, leaving children in the Pacific region without knowing his exact location during this time.
