In 1955, Continental Air Defence (CONAD) Operation Centre received a phone call from a kid trying to reach Santa Claus. It was a funny accident. Apparently, the kid had read an ad in the newspaper which provoked him to call Santa. This accident led to the birth of NORAD Santa Tracker. ThisSanta Tracker has been around for 65 years and has been tracking Mr SantaClaus on Christmas Eve. Millions of children around the globe have fun with this Santa Tracker.

In 2004, Goggle joined hands with NORAD too. NORAD stands for North American Aerospace Defence Command.
