PETERSON SPACE FORCE BASE, Colo. — Sometimes kids drop the phone after hearing Santa won't show up if they're not asleep. Others who call the NORAD Tracks Santa hotline wonder if St. Nick will be able to find them.
Volunteers take phone calls from children asking where Santa is and when he will deliver presents to their house during the annual NORAD Tracks Santa Operation at the North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD, at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colo., on Dec. 24, 2024.
