The U.S. military agency known for tracking Santa Claus as he delivers presents on Christmas Eve doesn\u2019t expect COVID-19 or the \u201c bomb cyclone \u201d hitting North America to affect Saint Nick\u2019s global travels<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NORAD, the North American Aerospace Defense Command, is responsible for monitoring and defending the skies above North America<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the Colorado Springs, Colorado-based agency also runs the NORAD Tracks Santa service, which allows people to follow his Christmas journey through its\u00a0noradsanta.org<\/a>\u00a0website, social media channels and mobile app<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agency this year plans to have about 1,500 volunteers working on Christmas Eve to field phone calls from children who want to know Santa\u2019s location and delivery schedule<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lt. General David Nahom, a NORAD official based in Anchorage, Alaska, said the pandemic has not affected Santa\u2019s busy delivery schedule and he doesn\u2019t expect any impact this weekend<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The freezing temperatures and heavy snowfall that\u2019s disrupting holiday travel in the U.S. shouldn\u2019t be a problem for a man who lives at the North Pole, Nahom said<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think Santa will be right at home with the Arctic weather that\u2019s hitting into the lower 48,\u201d Nahom said<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NORAD\u2019s holiday tradition began in 1955 after a kid mistakenly called a Colorado military command asking to speak to Santa. More calls came in so the commander on duty assigned an officer to answer the Santa calls, and the\u00a0tradition took hold<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
