The U.S. government may be partially shut down, but that isn't stopping hundreds of volunteers dressed in Christmas hats and military uniforms from taking calls from children around the world who want to know when Santa will be coming.
The North American Aerospace Defence Command - a joint U.S.-Canadian operation based in Colorado Springs, Colorado - has handled the elaborate operation for over 60 years.
Children - and young-at-heart adults - can follow Santa's journey on the NORAD Santa Tracker website or call 1-877-HI-NORAD.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays from all of us here at NEWSTALK1010!
