Here I am, ready for Santa. I don\u2019t mean I\u2019m waiting for my presents. I\u2019m ready to take part in the team pulling the sleigh. If a vacancy comes up in the next twenty-four hours, then I\u2019m your girl. I know my antlers aren\u2019t real, but I want to fit in and look my best. I\u2019ve been practicing jumping for take-off for most of the last five years so I should get airborne quite easily. To be honest, I\u2019ve always had a bit of a soft spot for Rudolph. I\u2019d love to get to know him better and I always try chasing deer if I see them, just to ask if they know him you understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, if you don\u2019t know about this, it\u2019s about time you did. You can track the whole of Santa\u2019s journey from midnight tonight on the International Dateline to midnight Christmas day. It is a lovely story. In 1955 a child rang the Continental Air Defence Command (now NORAD) by mistake. A wonderful man, Colonel Harry Shoup played along and told the boy Santa\u2019s up to date position. He could have simply said the boy had rung the wrong number, but in one of the most beautiful moments of Christmas magic, a whole new tradition was born. Now every year, the wonderful people at NORAD serve the whole world by tracking Santa\u2019s journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
