NORAD tracking Santa’s progress in real-time, eager to answer kids’ questions
COLORADO SPRINGS, CO – Hundreds of volunteers at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado have been answering telephones for hours Sunday, as excited children have been calling in to learn just where Santa is on his schedule of delivering gifts to boys and girls.

The toll-free telephone number to reach NORAD Tracks Santa is: 877- Hi NORAD or 877–446-6723. Around 1,500 volunteers, working in shifts, will be on hand to field questions from children throughout Christmas Eve.
