The general of the American Air Force also recalled an essential rule: “Santa won't stop if the kids are still awake. » He advised, on an American television channel: “Go to bed before 9 p.m. to be sure to receive your gifts. »
For decades, Norad has been following Santa's route, a tradition born in 1955 from an error in a Sears chain advertisement. A number supposed to allow you to call Santa Claus actually referred to the Norad red telephone. Colonel Harry Shoup, then in office, chose to play the game and began informing children of the location of Santa Claus, turning this mistake into a tradition.
Today, thanks to modern tools like the interactive Google Santa Tracker map or the Norad website, young and old can follow Santa's magical journey live and in 3D.
At 7 p.m. PST, he was flying over India, on his way to continue his world tour and ensure all the gifts will be delivered on time.
