The Track Santa program from NORAD was initiated long back on December 24, 1955. It began after they received a naughty call at the air defense command operations (CONAD) segment at Colorado Springs, Colo. This call was actually made by a local youth. He had dialed a phone number that was wrongly printed in one of the advertisements in a newspaper circulated in that area. The senior officer who got to answer this phone call that night provided the information that the youngster had requested. He told the youngster about Santa’s location. This is how the track Santa program began. This continued to remain a ritual that NORAD carried out from its time of formation in 1958. So, more than 50 years has passed since NORAD began tracking Santa as he flies all over the world giving away gifts.
It was in 2006 that Google devised a three-dimensional entertainment through Google Earth. In this game, you could try to locate Christmas presents over the Earth’s surface. It existed for about two weeks until Christmas. Google Earth showed Santa's home in the North Pole and the sledge he used using 3D effects. Then they integrated Santa tracker into it. The Google Earth Santa Tracker program was devised in 2005. From 2007, Norad began to make use of Google Earth for tracking Santa. These leads to new opportunities and children have been excitedly waiting for the website to open every year, so that they could track Santa down, as he places his presents at points around the earth.
