Neither the Grinch nor a government shutdown can steal Christmas this year.
NORAD has announced that, despite the partially shut down government, their Santa tracker will be up and running to perfection, as per usual, reports the NPR. NORAD and USNORTHCOM announced on social media platform Twitter that the 63-year-old tradition of tracking Santa on Christmas Eve will still be underway. So count on Military personnel — who conduct the NORAD Santa tracking — to be doing their due diligence this year, with approximately 1,500 volunteers who work the Santa tracking program.
NORAD is a joint United States and Canadian operation that is based in Colorado Springs. Last year, they received 126,000 phone calls, 18 million website hits, and 1.8 million followers on Facebook, and 170,000 more on Twitter.
