NORAD Watching Santa


The North American Air Defence Command is ready to keep Santa Claus safe as he travels around the world tonight.

NORAD is responsible for keeping the airspace safe in North America, and tracks Santa's movements every Christmas Eve.

Lt. Stacey Knott says NORAD's fighter jets will intercept him to wish him a safe journey.

"We are going up and meeting him with our fighter aircraft to make sure that he travels safely across our country," says Knott, "and then kind of tipping the wings to him, to say 'hello' from our jets."

Children can also track Santa's movements by going to NORAD's website as well.
