NORAD set to begin annual tracking of Santa's sleigh ride

The agency that monitors North American skies is set to begin its annual tracking of Santa’s gift-giving journey around the world, and will get a little extra high-tech help this year.
“We’ve been doing this since 1955 and Santa still keeps us on our toes,” said Cpt. Chase McFarland, of the U.S. Air Force and spokesman for the North American Aerospace Defence Command.
