One of my favorite Christmas stories. How NORAD started the Santa Tracker: NORAD's Santa Tracker Began With A Typo And A Good Sport : NPR

A great read - NPR (originally published December 19, 2014)

Read the full NPR story as related by the grown children of Col. Harry Shoup who came to be known as the "Santa Colonel." Col. Shoup passed away in 2009.
